Lots of functionality, batch processing, good reports, cloud based accessibility, management of multiple users and accounts is very simple, good visual scales of billing performance.
Sudden price increases can cause huge problems for your business if you are a small practice. Terrible customer service for established clients (different department than for new clients). Tech support takes forever.
Potential for large price increases and that tech support is not the same people who help you get set up (who are much better).

The software is one of the most user-friendly that I have ever used. Customer support is stellar!
I have not run across anything that I don’t like about Kareo.
Nothing really – I have worked with this system for over 6 years and love it!

Kareo’s product is very user friendly, easy to learn and teach. We enjoy using the product and having Kareo support available when we need them. Also having Kareo on Facebook allows us to have continual availability. Reports are great, very easy to read and follow. Reports download to Excel and can modify them as needed.
Kareo updates can be difficult at times.
I wish I had known that patient statements weren’t as automated as we would like them. Coming from another medical billing software where the patient statements were set to run automatically by date and time, it was not as labor intensive as it is with Kareo, however, we have adjusted to it.

We are no longer with this company because we are pediatrics. It would be fine for another speciality.
Pediatrics, family accounts together.
That the transfer from one system to another was more accurate, the phone hold time was not so long, and more family practice friendly.

The customer service is great. I have a personal customer service contact and he gets back to me right away. Sometimes they can’t solve my problem but they always try 🙂
Our practice is pretty niche and some of the features that (I’m assuming) work really well for larger treating clinics either are unnecessary or clunky for our specific needs. That being said, in my research of other companies, Kareo was the closest fit.
I asked A LOT of questions before hand and felt pretty comfortable about what I was getting in to.
