Kareo, a practice management tool used in small medical practices, has several key use cases based on user experiences. Primarily used by the billing team, Kareo helps schedule patients, manage recalls, bill patient services, and handle accounts receivable. Its functionality is essential for streamlining administrative tasks and ensuring smooth operations within the practice.

However, despite claims from Kareo sales representatives, the Medical Billing features of the software have not always lived up to expectations. Some users have accused the sales reps of misrepresenting the product's capabilities during the sales process. This has led to disappointment and frustration when the actual features did not align with what was promised. As a result, some users have had to cancel their Kareo agreements due to this misrepresentation.

One challenge that some users face when canceling their contracts is an early cancellation fee imposed by Kareo. These users feel that this fee is unjustified and may even consider legal action to dispute it. This situation highlights the importance of clear communication between sales reps and potential customers to avoid misunderstandings and prevent unnecessary complications down the line.

In conclusion, Kareo's primary use cases involve managing various aspects of a medical practice's operations, such as scheduling patients, handling recalls, billing services, and managing accounts receivable. However, it is important for potential users to thoroughly evaluate the product's features and ensure that they align with their specific needs. Clear communication with Kareo's sales representatives is vital to avoid any misrepresentation of capabilities or unforeseen fees in order to make an informed decision about using this practice management tool.

Smooth transitions with insurance updates: Users have noted that Kareo actively stays up to date on insurance changes, ensuring that healthcare providers can smoothly adapt to any industry updates. This demonstrates Kareo's commitment to keeping track of evolving insurance requirements and facilitating seamless transitions for its users.

Responsive customer support: Many reviewers appreciate the various channels of support offered by Kareo, including help ticket submissions and phone calls. They also commend the prompt follow-up from the customer support team, highlighting Kareo's responsiveness and dedication to addressing user queries and concerns in a timely manner.

Reasonable pricing for small practices: Some users find Kareo's pricing reasonable and cost-effective, particularly for small healthcare practices with limited resources. This suggests that Kareo offers affordable solutions without compromising on quality, making it an attractive option for smaller practices looking for budget-friendly software solutions.

Cons:

  1. Formatting and formulas not retained when importing reports to Excel: Several users have expressed frustration with Kareo's report exporting feature, stating that the formatting and formulas are not retained in Excel, requiring manual changes and redoing of work.
  2. Custom report function does not work: Some users have mentioned that they have never been able to get Kareo's custom report function to work despite needing it for their specific requirements, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction.
  3. Lack of date range option in available reports: Many users have stated that while they often receive requests from patients for a summary of charges and amounts paid for tax purposes, the available report in Kareo does not offer a date range option. This limitation makes it difficult for users to provide the necessary information within the desired timeframe.

In my experience, problems with them adding incorrect fees to pad their bills coupled with their unethical business practices such as locking you out from accessing your EMR at the drop of a hat prevent me from recommending Kareo to any practice. Reliability is paramount. Kareo's use of unethical business practices (locking you out from your EMR or disabling your EMR all together) can result in a physician being sanctioned by the medical board (inappropriate medical record keeping) or financially destroy a small practice leaving them with NO ACCESS to their ERAs/patient billing accounts etc leads me to NOT reccomend their products or doing business with them.

Kareo is far better suited for smaller companies. Also, it is better suited for a company that is not as keen on seeing their data reconcile perfectly to the practice management software. The product will probably provide an adequate custom reporting tool (via Excel add-in). However, a practice should be well aware that the reporting is all done through the Excel interface and does not provide any aesthetically pleasing dashboards.

If you want to handle claims in the office, Kareo equips you with a lot of tools to manage it well. We run 200 appts a week or less; if we had a bigger clinic I am not sure how it would work. It would probably still be good, we would just need more people to process things.

We are a speech and occupational therapy practice and it is very well suited for us. I previously worked for a family practice and OBGYN practice and I see where the coding part of the software would be highly useful in that type of practice. Kareo keeps track of your most used diagnosis codes.
