Likelihood to Recommend TheraNest is appropriate for clinical practice and seems well-suited for providing speech-language and other allied health services. Without firsthand experience billing, it is difficult to provide input regarding the ease of billing with this software. I have yet to see how TheraNest would work for clients with multiple insurance types. I trialed the TheraNest video conferencing near the beginning of 2020 (start of global pandemic), but the feature had glitches and I have since discontinued use of this feature.
Read full review To date, TotalMD EHR is being used in many specialties, including chiropractic, general surgery, home healthcare, mental health, internal medicine, family practice, plastic surgery, OB/GYN and alternative medicine. Because the system is available as both server-based (in-house system) or cloud-based, each practice may choose which option may better suit the way they care for patients, based on portability needs.

Provider assessments translate directly to billing data, thus decreasing claim rejections, dramatically. Templates are quickly and easily customized by the provider, for any and all specialties, based on the way the provider works as opposed to the way programmers decide. Powerful tracking system allows providers to follow lab orders, medications, referral information and more, which enhances the ability to provide better care. Read full review Cons Make it easier to see if a note is linked to an appointment More options for making employee availability blocks Synced appointments still show up after client is archived Read full review Although third-party applications are available for smartphone access to certain information, we are hoping to see such applications developed directly by TotalMD, to continue with their all-in-one approach, which minimizes any chance of data error. Third-party biometric devices (fingerprint, retinal scan, etc.) can be utilized with the HL7 import capabilities of TotalMD. However, we would like to see such scanning devices created specifically for TotalMD. By doing so, the installation, configuration and support would be handled by one company, rather than a third party. Read full review Support Rating TheraNest support team is great but has grown since we bought it 4 years ago. 4 years ago you could call a number and someone would assist immediately and your issue would be resolved within moments. Now when you call to support you speak to someone who tells you they will create a ticket and get back in touch, which takes 2-3 days for a resolve. We understand that this is because TheraNest is growing and cannot staff at such a large scale so quickly without needing to better structure the support process. However, it is something that has been hard to transition over to for our company.
Read full review Alternatives Considered TheraHelper was outdated software that was difficult to use and hard to understand. We have cut down almost 3X the amount of work it took to use TheraHelper. TheraHelper did have a better report option for accounting purposes and that is something we are hopeful TheraNest grows toward. TheraHelper also was just beginning to offer a cloud-based option that was very different from the original software they offered, but still too difficult to navigate.
Read full review [We assessed] bringing on another product to our lineup (previously we were top national resellers of Medisoft and AltaPoint). However, TotalMD quickly became our flagship product, as it has proven to have the lowest maintenance/support requirements, the easiest to learn for both practitioners as well as support personnel and is the most affordable (most bang-for-the-buck) for our clients. Supporting over a thousand clients throughout the US, Canada, Guam and Puerto Rico for the past 23 years, we always hold our clients' best interests in mind.
Read full review Return on Investment Saved us money! Saved us time! Helped us stay organized! Read full review Since TotalMD is one of the few EHR systems on the market today, that does not have a required annual (and usually very pricey) support agreement, its fast user implementation time requirement and the many error cross-checking systems, the ROI for most practices, can be seen in a few months. Data conversion from several software systems (Medisoft, AltaPoint, Lytec and Visionary) are typically included at no cost, saving many practices thousands of dollars when they switch from a lesser product. The technical team at TotalMD can convert data from most any other product at very reasonable rates. Read full review ScreenShots
