Choosing between the two leading healthcare management solutions, Kareo EMR and Elation EMR, can be confusing. The difference lies in how the system is designed, what features it offers, and how well it can integrate with other software.
Patient portal
Choosing an electronic medical record (EMR) is an important decision. You want to choose an EMR that will be effective for your practice. It should be easy to navigate and provide a patient-focused experience. Taking care of your patients can be tedious and stressful, so it’s important to find a system that will help you stay on top of things.
Elation Health is an EMR system designed to improve communication between your staff and your patients. It offers a comprehensive set of capabilities, including e-prescribing, appointment management, charting, and E/M coding. It also has an integrated video platform that provides easy access to scheduled appointments. Its HIPAA-compliant video platform allows for easy and secure telehealth services.
Elation has an easy-to-use chart layout that makes it easy for patients to access their health information. Its triple pane view and full-text search help patients find what they need quickly.
Elation has an API that lets you integrate other applications into your Elation system. You can customize the system to fit your practice’s needs.
Billing module
Using the Kareo EMR billing module is a smart move if you’re interested in saving money, and improving your patient’s experience. The system offers billing, marketing and practice management tools, all built into a platform that includes a dedicated success coach. It’s easy to get started, and the prices are reasonable for a small clinic or independent practice.
In addition to providing an EMR, Kareo offers a variety of services, including patient billing, medical and health IT, practice management, and professional services. It’s possible to migrate physical records and data into the software, and it also works with InstaMed, a payment processing company that is geared towards medical payments.
While you may not have heard of the Kareo EMR, it is a Meaningful Use certified EHR. The billing module is an efficient way to handle your insurance billing, and the pricing structure is reasonable for a variety of practices. In addition to the billing modules, Kareo has additional add-ons for an additional fee.
Telehealth platform
Among the top rated EHR and telehealth platforms, Kareo and Elation Health both offer reliable functionality and user-friendly features. Both are also priced reasonably.
In addition to providing electronic medical record (EHR) services, Kareo EHR also offers practice management and billing tools. Its Simple Start Program is designed to keep costs down and reduce startup challenges.
Kareo’s patient portal allows secure communication with patients around the clock. It also automates reminders about appointments and other tasks. Its reporting tools let you generate reports and track the status of claims.
With Kareo, you can get reimbursements for video telehealth visits. It also has an award-winning billing engine. You can access the service from patient-owned devices, and the video platform is HIPAA-compliant.
The patient portal is easy to use. You can add or change calendars, change colors, and add or remove patient information. You can also create timetables and customize templates. It even has a drag-and-drop tool for scheduling. You can manage complex schedules for patients and staff.
Integrations
Whether you are looking for an EMR or practice management solution, Kareo and Elation are two of the most popular options. Both are cloud-based and provide a comprehensive suite of solutions. They both offer a number of features and integrations that can help your practice manage revenue, schedule appointments, and collect past-due bills.
With the Elation-Kareo integration, practices can send claims-related data from Elation to Kareo, which reduces the need for double documenting. In addition, this integration allows for the safe exchange of patient records and test results.
To integrate Kareo and Elation, you will need to create a user account in both systems. Each provider level user in both systems will need an account. For more information, read our Billing Guide.
You can use the Delayed Billing feature to hold bills in Elation until they are complete. When the bills are ready to be sent to Kareo, they are automatically pushed.
When you add a new insurance company to a patient’s account, you will need to enter the new carrier address into Kareo. You will also need to update the Electronic Claims setting for the insurance company in the patient’s profile.
