Think of your Best Hire - that's Athena
Pros

Athena follows a true "Skin in the game" model where their performance directly affects their payment. The startup costs are minimal and they provide excellent support and engagement to ensure success and growth.

Cons

We've had to rely on third-party vendors for certain services that we feel Athena should be able to provide resulting in additional costs that are not ideal.

Athena is a lifesaver!!
Pros

Two years ago I had my first encounter with Athena Health when I visited my Primary Care doctor. The instructions for accessing my results were provided through their portal and I was eagerly awaiting them. To my delight I logged in and promptly found my results available. What made it truly convenient was that my doctor had included notes next to each result indicating if they were elevated or outside the normal range. I didn't have to wait for a phone call; I had immediate feedback right in the portal. I am grateful to Athena for making the entire process so effortless and seamless.

Cons

I have no complaints about Athena! It's extremely convenient.

Bait and Switch
Pros

The initial setup of the EMR was straightforward and the billing functionality was satisfactory at first.

Cons

Any requests for improvement are consistently ignored. For instance we were promised an Android app from the beginning but even after 13 years it remains an unfulfilled promise. They simply tell us to "put it on the suggestion board." However my reason for writing this review today is the sudden and significant price increase. Despite being assured that the price (a percentage of gross collections) would decrease over time they have once again raised the percentage they take. They attribute this to "inflation" but it's clear that they are simply taking a larger portion of the revenue without our consent and without engaging in contract negotiations. It's completely dishonest and we are left with no choice in the matter.

Great all around
Pros

Athena actively seeks and acts upon client feedback in various ways resulting in a more usercentric product development process.

Cons

Interactions with Customer Support CSC lack userspecific tailoring. We often resort to contacting support as a last option after trying various methods to resolve issues. CSC initiates with basic responses and takes additional time to escalate problems to a higher support tier.

Pros

AthenaOne offers a comprehensive solution with nearly all the features needed for managing medical records charting patient communication registration portal access etc. all in one place. It is also known for its userfriendly design customizable workflows and accessible customer service through chat or phone.

Customizing certain workflows further like consolidating the Exam section into a single page during the fivestep encounter would be appreciated instead of having to navigate to the next page for each section.

Mixed Feelings About the System
Pros

Once the system is set up, it does seem to work well. The support after implementation is adequate, and the system itself functions decently.

Cons

Setting up the system is a horrible and confusing experience. The team assigned to assist with setup often lacks sufficient knowledge about how the system works, making the process even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the system lacks essential pre-formatted tools, reports, workflows, and other necessary elements for operating a standard medical practice. Its non-intuitive workflows make it difficult to use, and theres no easy-to-access daily dashboard for activity and payments.

Review of Athena No longer used
Pros

While AthenaOne was praised by colleagues in primary medical practice it wasn't a good fit for our practice where we don't handle insurance billing or eprescriptions.

Cons

AthenaOne is a comprehensive system tailored for practices that engage in insurance billing claims management and eprescribing. Unfortunately our practice doesn't utilize these features and requires a more streamlined system for optimal operations.

Mixed Bag with Some Likable Aspect
Pros

I appreciate the interfaces purple color, and generally, the system is user-friendly. Athena text is a standout feature, and scheduling within the program is quite easy. Additionally, labeling and organizing documents are relatively simple tasks. I also like the swift verification process for most insurances.

Cons

Unfortunately, Athena has a tendency to overcomplicate things unnecessarily. The prescription management is particularly frustrating as it doesnt allow for easy closure of prescriptions; instead, the only option is to deny them, causing headaches. Additionally, responding to patient cases is needlessly complicated.

I appreciate how AthenaOne offers an all-in-one solution with a variety of tools and services for providers to efficiently manage their practice and deliver high-quality care. The user-friendly medical record is thorough, and payment processes are simplified. AthenaOne seamlessly integrates with a clinical network, providing access to extra resources. Furthermore, the patient engagement feature fosters stronger relationships and improves overall care.

While AthenaOne can be a bit costly to buy and implement, and may demand more training to take full advantage of its features, it ultimately offers long-term benefits that make the expense and time worth it.
