Kareo was unreliable, didn't include promised feature, and cost a lot.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are a small to medium size telehealth clinic offering psychological and psychiatric services primarily within the state of Alaska. We moved to Kareo as we thought it would consolidate our needs for both an EHR and a billing service into one.
Pros
- Sales
Cons
- Reliability of the telehealth platform
- Ability to ingest data from other EHRs, e.g., TherapyNotes
- Transparency of billing
- Customer service
- Usability
- Honesty in sales
Return on Investment
- Spent >7K on a service that did not work
- Spent >10k on training and IT to support said non-functional service and then, get off of it when it failed
- Learned valuable lesson about disingenuous sales tactics
Other Software Used
doxy.me, Google Workspace, RingCentral Meetings
