Therabill, by WebPT is a web based electronic billing and practice management system designed for independent healthcare providers, billing services, or healthcare facilities. Therabill is specifically designed for behavioral, developmental, occupational, physical, speech and other healthcare therapists.
The most important thing is that I feel confident that my client records are kept secure and private, and that Power Diary has strict security and privacy measures in place and compliance with relevant legislative and regulatory requirements. Data is encrypted, and two factor authentication is required to access the system. I can't think of any scenarios where it would be less appropriate to use.
For smaller clinics who see fewer numbers of patients or rarely deal with claim denials, Therabill by WebPT would be satisfactory and effective for use. However, because the workflows for handling claim denials and for entering batch payments can be so tedious, difficult, and time-consuming, I would not recommend the suite for businesses with greater quantities of daily claims or complex billing scenarios.
While knowledgeable, support agents don't seem to speak English as a primary language, so communication can be difficult at times
I feel billing secondary insurance is really tedious, having to submit it patient by patient
Handling claim denials, corrected claims, and resubmissions is incredibly tedious and difficult, in my experience, requiring a great deal of time and moving across the site to handle one claim at a time
I think Power Diary is relatively intuitive however of late, over development of certain features with insufficient user experience testing, and, in my opinion, no desire to resolve the concerns of customers shows me that Power Diary's business model is not customer centric, but self centric and most businesses with this ethos fail in time.
The UI is fairly user-friendly and finding what you need on the site isn't that difficult. Once set up, EDI and ERA receipt works smoothly and payment posting from ERAs is straightforward and simple for the most part. But handling claim denials, corrections, and resubmissions is incredibly difficult. It is not only difficult to find and sort them, but to send them out for reprocessing as well.
This is the first time I have used this type of practice management system. I used the Specialist Homelessness Information Platform (SHIP) in my previous role, which made it easier for me to transition to using Power Diary.
Our previous billing software was Tiger Misys and Payerpath by Allscripts. Both were very antiquated means of managing claims and payments. Therabill by WebPT at least is modern and functions far more simply and is more user-friendly. That said, we have since moved to Prompt EMR, which while the user interface is less intuitive, the functionality is far more streamlined and efficient for a clinic of our size.
