We use it as our EHR in a nutrition practice.
  • Easy client interface
  • Telehealth
  • invoicing is terrible, in my opinion.
  • setting practice defaults
  • customized team access permissions
  • inability to have more than one service with the same CPT code, I've found.
  • inability to show clients just a list of insurances we accept, I've found.
  • only 1 telehealth location despite there now being 2 telehealth place of service codes, I've found.
  • inability to create default telehealth place of service codes and modifiers specific to each insurance, I've found.
  • reports are lacking. I cannot pull a report to see what clients we have with a certain insurance, what percent of claims are from various insurance companies, how many sessions on average my clinicians are having with their clients, and so many more, I've found.
  • scheduler and biller permissions are inadequate to do those jobs, I believe.
  • Pricing is too high, I believe.
  • insurance eligibility checks are a joke and why in the world are they 5 cents each? Talk about nickel and dimming in my opinion.
  • Too many workarounds, in my opinion.
  • widget scheduling cannot be customized, like cannot have people choose service first, then clinician. Must first choose clinician. Also cannot re-order list of providers in it, I've found.
  • No cancellation emails were sent to clients, I found. Why?
I think it's a good choice for solo providers who bill insurance. If you have employees or are self-pay, go elsewhere, in my opinion.
  • Insurance billing
  • online
  • Well I switched to it because I wanted to do my own billing but over time i had to hire a biller anyway because the admin side of things is so time consuming. Lots of clicks and inefficient workarounds, I've discovered.
Also Kalix, Practice Better, Practice Q (formerly Intake Q), Healthie, Jane, etc.

I'm hoping to switch to Practice Q soon.

SimplePractice was used to manage client appointments, notes, and accounting. Also was helpful with sending out monthly superbills and appointment reminders. All employees were able to utilize all features under one joint account. It addresses the problem of having excessive paperwork and file cabinets with limited accessibility, especially within the digital age.
  • Intake paperwork formatting
  • Calendar interface and ease of use
  • Automated features such as appointment reminders
  • Not being able to add 2 therapists to a client
  • Having a steep learning curve to figure out where all the features were located
  • Increased pricing with forced features that I did not plan to ever use
  • Not having IvyPay as a payment option
  • Only having one way calendar sync
This is the first EHR platform I used. It is very professionally done with an aesthetically pleasing interface and has broad functionality. I would recommend it to a colleague who is a single practitioner with a small solo practice. I would not, however, recommend it to a group practice owner as I have found many alternatives that are just as good for a noticeable pricing difference with SimplePractice’s new fee structure.
  • Electronic notes
  • Automated superbills
  • Automated appointment reminders
  • Calendar sync (even though one way)
  • The electronic paperwork has established me as a professional in the modern age
  • It has allowed me to streamline parts of my group practice
  • It has helped me stay organized and keep up with things to be done
I ultimately ended up leaving SimplePractice for TherapyMate in March with the price increase. My reasoning was, that even though the interface is not as aesthetically pleasing, TherapyMate had all of the features I needed in my EHR system at dramatic savings per month. There were of course some pros and cons I had to weigh out for both of them, but ultimately the price of TherapyMate superseded any pros for SimplePractice.

I use Simple Practice to schedule all of my athlete sessions. My billing goes automatically and seamlessly through the software system. I take all of my notes on each athlete during each session. It has an app that I have on my phone where I can view everything from wherever I am at.
  • Scheduling.
  • Billing.
  • Would like more usability on the app.
I have been able to use Simple Practice exactly the way that I intended to and would highly recommend to anyone else, especially those in my profession where other programs are not created specifically for the profession. I've been able to customize everything to exactly what I need in my business.
  • Not overly expensive to use.
  • No drawbacks.
I have not had to contact support which is nice. If I have a question, I am typically able to find the answer within the help section.
