Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
ChiroTouch
- The ChiroTouch pricing page names Start, Grow and Scale plans but publishes no monthly rate, no per provider fee, no setup fee and no contract length, routing buyers to a demo booking
- Payment processing through CT Pay, the CT Billing Suite, clearinghouse claims and CT SmartFit are all priced as separate add ons
- Clearinghouse access is sold either by claim volume or as an unlimited option, so claim throughput changes the bill
Kareo Clinical
- Kareo is now part of Tebra and sold under the Tebra brand rather than as a standalone product
- Tebra publishes no rate: pricing varies with provider count, features and implementation requirements and is quoted during a demo
- Billing counts clinical providers such as MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs, so adding a prescriber raises the bill even though non clinical staff are free
- Electronic prescribing of controlled substances setup costs about $75 per provider as a one time fee
- PDMP integration costs $500 one time per facility plus about $50 per user per year
