Kareo EMR Features
Integrated Patient Portal
On Kareo EMR, patients can share their current medical records, view medical billing information, lab results, medical history, charting, and medications. Physicians and doctors can communicate with patients through instant messaging or video chatting.
Patient Engagement
Kareo allows providers to create, update, and access comprehensive patient records, including medical history, allergies, medications, patient charts, and test results. It also includes tools for scheduling appointments, managing patient flow, and sending appointment reminders.
Clinical Documentation
Kareo includes customizable templates for common medical forms and documents, such as progress notes, physical exams, and referrals. It also allows providers to create custom templates for their specific needs. In addition, the software includes a comprehensive dashboard providing practitioners with analytics and reporting tools to help practices track their performance and identify areas for improvement. The platform features AI Note Assist, an intelligent tool that captures patient-provider conversations and automatically converts them into structured clinical notes, significantly reducing documentation time and improving workflow efficiency.
AI Review Insights
Kareo EMR’s AI Review Insights organizes patient feedback by identifying common themes across reviews such as care experience, wait times, and staff interactions. It groups similar feedback together so teams can see patterns more clearly. The software presents this information in a simple view that helps staff understand what patients are saying at scale.
E-Prescribing
Once a refill has been requested, Kareo EMR automatically delivers information to pharmacies. This allows doctors and other healthcare professionals to save time, check for potential drug-to-drug or drug-to-allergy interactions, and reduce phone calls related to prescriptions. The electronic claim attachment feature enables clinical notes to be directly linked to claims, supporting revenue cycle workflows and improving reimbursement efficiency.
Billing Services And Revenue Cycle Management
Kareo EMR includes features for managing patient billing and insurance eligibility claims. It can generate patient statements, track payments, and identify billing errors, as well as use analytical tools to help practices track their financial performance.
AI Review Replies
The platform helps practices respond to patient reviews using HIPAA-compliant AI that understands tone and context. It reads each review and generates a reply that reflects the message while keeping patient information private. The software brings all reviews into one place so teams can manage and publish responses in a structured workflow.
Robotic Process Automation
This feature handles routine billing and administrative tasks using rule-based workflows built into the system. The software processes activities like data entry, payment matching, and claims updates by following set logic. It connects clinical and financial data so information moves consistently between systems in an organized way.
Secure Messaging Features
Clinicians on Kareo EMR can exchange information with patients or communicate with other health professionals quickly and securely, as well as conveniently message their organization’s billing team to maintain data security.

“Not Happy”
Pros
nothing was good in the experience
Cons
onboarding was disordganized. the person Adam who sold it to us was a liar told us it was a month to month contract we were dumb and didnt read fine print . After 2 weeks we realized most of what we needed it to do for a med management psychiatric tele health office it could not do. When we tried to cancel after the two weeks like we were told we could do we were told no you have to pay one year . We went back to valant which is much better for tele health practice , even our admin , secretaries , biller hated tebra in comparison. We were forced to pay for something we never used for a whole year. We tried finding Adam and were told he no longer workered there which later we found out was a lie. We called a bunch of different p[eople trying to get them to understand we were told we could cancel anytime and how this was just not right for our office , the front desk we have virtually could not even see pts checking in as we were told. Then they kept lying saying there was no records of our calls. They listed an employee of ours as the account admin so when we tried to take features off and cancel them to make it cheaper we were told we were not admin? ? Meanwhile it our company. The whole thing was a nightmare. Best part we canceled last year and they are currently emailing us for more money !!!! Saying of you didnt cancel in time and have to pay for more months ???? They are crazy and desperate , they sneak hidden cost out of the blue. We literally canceled 2 weeks after we tried it . We also called several times after canceling it. Our email Valant may not be perfect but they are not crooks and scam artists. Stay far far away .

“Slow or non existent customer support”
Pros
Nothing to note, as we are the billing company and just print out reports
Cons
Their customer support is slow or not helpful. It's literally a link to a KB article, but no assistance to help underlying issues. I am still waiting over 2 weeks on a support ticket and I ping them every 3 days to see if there are updates, but NO replies at all.

“It has gotten worse over the years”
Pros
The thing I like the most is that the Kareo team was keen to understand the requirements specific to a mental health practice, both from a business and functional perspective.
Cons
The customer service they provide is undoubtedly the worst in the industry. The process they have for deactivating a provider is very annoying and time-consuming. I have spent up to 2 hours on the phone with them just to deactivate a provider.
