SimplePractice Reviews

“Does a lot

Pros

The platform allows you to customize intake forms, diagnostic codes, billing forms, and scheduling. You can also use a secure patient portal to send patients a secure link to sign consent forms, make payments with a credit card, schedule sessions, and conduct secure telehealth visits according to HIPAA guidelines. Additionally, the platform supports insurance billing.

Cons

Simple Practice is primarily meant for mental health professionals and non-MDs. As a psychiatrist, it fulfills most of my requirements for a telepsych practice but not all. For instance, e-prescribing, lab order, and lab result reviewing are not possible using Simple Practice. However, it was never marketed to support these features. As I am just starting my practice, I will use paper scripts as a temporary solution. However, if a patient requires Clozaril, Lithium, or Delante, I will need to find another service that offers lab ordering and reviewing capabilities. Simple Practice is a great platform for psychotherapists who dont prescribe as it offers all the necessary features. However, for psychiatrists, it only covers about 2/3 of the required functions. I wouldnt recommend it for internal medicine, family medicine, or endocrinology as it is not tailored to physicians. The reason I chose it is because of its telehealth feature, billing simplification, and the ability to collect payments without handling cash.

“Simple Practice

Pros

What I love most is the ease of use! SimplePractice is incredibly user-friendly. If the documents I need arent already available I can easily create them.

Cons

There isnt much negative about SimplePractice. Ive encountered a few minor glitches with the TX plans but theyre easily overcome.

“Review about Simple Practice

Pros

SimplePractice is a lifesaver for doctors who prescribe medication or therapy to patients and clients. It allows easy access to client information online diagnoses appointment fixing and includes a reminder feature to ensure nothing is forgotten.

Cons

In my experience there are some bugs that need immediate resolution.

“Reliable, but pricey

Pros

The platform is easy to use since everything is located in one place. In my experience, the platform is reliable, although I havent used the telehealth feature. It is also straightforward to use.

Cons

I had to pay the highest tier price just because I wanted to keep calendar syncing. Although I dont use the telehealth, everything else was available under the mid tier price. Additionally, its not possible to speak with customer service as all queries must be searched for in their FAQ sections.

“Great option

Ive been using SimplePractice for years and I never consider leaving. Its user-friendly for both myself and my clients with great templates that make my job easier. The video quality has improved significantly over time and issues are rare.

“Nice tool for mental health and managing medical appointments and billing.

Pros

The patient portal is excellent and very helpful. Medical billing is smooth and electronic medical records are well-managed. Appointment scheduling is also easy and helpful.

“Good choice for behavioral and mental health electronic health records.

Pros

I particularly like the helpful appointment reminders and the ease of access to therapy notes. The medical billing process is smooth and seamless and the calendar syncs perfectly with reminders.

Cons

Data privacy is a significant concern due to the sensitive nature of stored records. Online booking could be made more efficient especially in urgent situations.

“The best option in town

Pros

Their format is very user-friendly and suitable for individual private practices. Additionally, they have improved their features to support smaller group practices.

Cons

The customer service is located in a different time zone, causing a time difference of a few hours. Additionally, there is no option for direct communication with a human representative. All communication must be done electronically until it is escalated to an email chat and a virtual call.

“Good app for counselors and therapists.

Pros

SimplePractice offers a wide range of useful features like appointment scheduling therapy notes and medical billing. Customizable templates and a mobile app serve their purpose well. The customer support is also good.

Although reporting options exist they could be more robust considering the sensitivity of mental health matters. Data privacy and security concerns are evident.

“User Friendly Software for Private Practice

Pros

I find SimplePractice incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. Its easy to teach to clients and it handles most of the tasks I need for my business. The client portal is easy to use according to my clients and includes a chat feature.

Cons

I wish the middle tier offered certain features like calendar syncing without having to upgrade to the top tier. Also being able to supervise other users accounts without a separate email address would be beneficial.

“Awesome Product!

Pros

It provides excellent support for mental wellness.

Cons

Currently I cant think of any drawbacks.

“Avoid at all costs, very poor support and prices, rising all the time for no reason

Pros

This has been the worst experience. Getting support from a human is nearly impossible everything is forced to be done online wasting a lot of time. Theyre saving money but not passing any savings onto customers while raising prices.

Cons

Its the most expensive option out there and the prices keep increasing while offering fewer options.
