All In with TheraNest

Our office was using one company for scheduling patients and patient notification (text messaging); one company for billing; and one company for notes which resulted in huge opportunities for human error; the specific needs of our office were not addressed with any one company.

TheraNest addresses most of our office needs in one integrated program. Scheduling, appointment notifications, progress notes, billing, and ERA (eventually).

I previewed the ERA and it looks like it will efficiently apply payments to billed services.

I am very satisfied with TheraNest and strongly recommend it for other Behavioral Health providers.

Pros

Imported years of data from another system into TheraNest with no errors and very limited time commitment. Their customer support was very helpful and honest about the transition.

TheraNest is full featured- Our office used a competitor program for 30+ years but wanted/needed a cloud based state of the art EHR program- Our office tried several other popular programs but they all had significant limitations. We are very excited about Theranest.

Our Office is new to the program but so far so good. The customer support is excellent. They are adding features frequently, including specific features requested by users. The start up learning curve is doable and our staff picked it up in a few days versus weeks.

The scheduling, pt. appointment notifications, calendar, and agenda are well thought out and fully integrated. The initial intake note and progress notes took some getting used too but they work very well- DX codes are easily entered and updated. The progress notes are very professional and signed and cosigned if necessary.

I know this sounds like a paid advertisement but I have spent a lot of time, money and effort trying other programs and I was never more encouraged than with Theranest.

Our goal was to be fully functional with the transition from our current system to Theranest by January 2019. We are ahead of schedule and our intention is to bill our first full month of receivables for November 2018.

Cons

The fees were initially off putting. But after becoming familiar with TheraNest, I see the potential for a very efficient, time saving, integrated system that is well worth the monthly investment.

There is also flexibility with monthly billing based upon caseload (increasing or decreasing at discretion of the user) and it seems fair.

Response from Therapy Brands

Thank you for the glowing review!! We are so happy to hear you and your team are enjoying TheraNest!

Over all it is good. We had an issues 2 weeks ago, that was time sensitive and we could not get the issue fixed until a week later. That was unacceptable.

One of our receptionist entered the wrong amount for a copay and instead of charging the client $27.08 they were charged $2708.00. This charge went to a credit card thankfully and not their back account. When we were made aware of the mistake the next day, we could not return the payment due to having a cap set at $1000.00. This took 2 different people and 5 days later to fix. The client had to dispute the charge through the credit company to get this removed. This should never have gotten to that point. We should have been able to return this amount the follow day. (2 days at the most)

Pros

I like the way it is set up and you have everything you need for that client in one spot.

Cons

You are limited to space in some areas and not able to highlight certain things in the note section, or make them bold. So they will stand out.

The program is easy to use; has quite a few features that I don't need. Customer service is lacking

Pros

Easy to use. I don't use a lot of the features that are provided

Cons

Poor customer service. Dealing with a payment issue for over 2 months. Having to chase people down for a response. Rules and guidelines aren't easily laid out due to what they feel Admin "should" be doing; but it's not a requirement. Due to this non-requirement; TN has taken almost $500 from me due to a data breach; that I still have yet to hear anything about how it happened.

TheraNest is a well-rounded solution for practitioners who must maintain thorough and structured records.

Pros

TheraNest is an excellent platform for mental health professionals, offering a seamless and organized approach to managing client records and documentation. One of its standout features is the easy access it provides, allowing users to efficiently create initial assessments, case notes, treatment plans, and contact logs without hassle.

Cons

Overall, TheraNest streamlines administrative tasks improves workflow efficiency, and enhances record-keeping, making it a top choice for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals. It would be an great addition to add AI.

My overall experience I would recommend their nest to anybody the system will grow with you and your practice.

Pros

I started with my clients plus when it was in its infancy stage and now it is a part of Theranest. The packaging and options and software availability is super easy to use. What I like most of all is the customer service.

The customer service is outstanding and always very personal.

Cons

Sometimes change is hard and changing is what I like least about fairness but it is always for the best.

I had a steep, but swift learning curve using the platform, and my customer service rep, [sensitive content hidden], answered all of my questions patiently.
It's very nice that it offers an affordable HIPAA compliant video option. I feel that it was a worthy investment for my practice.

Pros

The value- it's an affordable price, and a very thorough platform.

Cons

New clients cannot do their intake paperwork on a smartphone ( or they try and are not able to fully submit it). I would like there to be a template for DAP notes, but SOAP template works fine!

Overall, I would say that TheraNest has been a good experience, and I would recommend it to other therapists.

Pros

I like how easy, simple and applicable TheraNest is to my documentation needs.

Cons

I do not like how this program does not automatically save my work. If I am not saving notes/assessments (short and or long documents) periodically and there is an issue with TheraNest or the internet connection, all is lost, and I need to start over. This creates more work for me and demands more of my time.

Pros

What I like most about TheraNest is the simplicity and functionality. I love that TheraNest actively implements user feedback to enhance my experience. Having a chat feature where I can connect with a representative is very efficient.

Cons

I would like more multiple choice features when it comes to filling out a MSE or a progress note. I would like the feature to print a progress note without a treatment plan attached, I would like to have the option to redact information before printing, and I would like for the little note icon on the calendars weekly page to be a different color when I sign a note as opposed to not signing the note.

I use it 5 Days or more a week and it is really convenient that the website is so easy to use and navigate that I can do it either on my phone or on my laptop i can do it at home or on the go. Its really a well made and well thought about application.

Pros

I appreciate the ease of navigating through the website and I really like the Simplicity of the site as well. For example when scheduling appointments its very basic and easy to run through and communicating and sumbiting documents and progress notes is very successful and accurate.

Cons

Only thing I can think of is that I cant set a name or date when saving drafts.

Thumbs down. Too long to respond to tech support. Ignored me for a week and still doing so to open up my deletion period and generally do not have a fix for the answer so, you just cope with it.

Pros

Theranest had ease of navigation inside their system for the most part.

Cons

If you do not use their clearing house, they charge you extra and then start messing up your EDI and billing. They will NOT allow you to manage your charts in a timely manner when trying to leave their system. I have been trying to leave their system since August and it is now October. Because they are making it difficult to leave, it is forcing me to pay for a system at a high price that I am not using. For example, you have to delete everything one at a time, and then they only let you delete 3 people a day. So, they are making bank because I cannot leave their system from their lock down of MY CHARTS. Imagine when you have almost a thousand or more people to exit the system how this impacts you financially as a business owner. So, essentially, I am paying for 2 EHRs.
