acubase, my opinion

[Guest guest]

Bottom line, I like it. I know some people are miffed about the

price, and that you pay yearly for updates, but this is pretty

standard for computer programs you buy to run a business. We pay

such a tiny price compared to other industies. I think acubase is

like $600, I got it on promo, so for less. But a chiropractor

friend just bought his computer software, $10,000 or more, plus he

pays $1000-3000/year for updates (can't remember the numbers, but in

the thousands for sure). And an auto repair place I was at

recently, we got to talking about their program, $20,000! PLus

another $5000 or so a year to update program. After realizing how

much programs in these other industries cost, wow! And for insurance

billing, and in plain running an effective business, you want

regular updates, and people who are constantly working to improve

the program and respond to your needs.

 

And I like the fact that since I have owned the new version, there

have been like 5 updates. Many things that my office staff has

requested has been changed already....to me this is just good

business.

 

I have not done insurance billing (kind of dreading the whole thing,

but have a ton of visits i need to bill for, yipes) so I cannot

speak to how this function works.

 

But I love how it tracks my inventory, sales tax, stores patient

info, prints superbills. I love that I can run reports to analyze

my sales, that I can generate letters to clients, and specify

certain groups within my entire patient base. I took over another

woman's practice, so I hade a huge, disorganized database to start

with, and this has really organized me.

 

Hope this adds perspective on another practice management

program...have a great weekend all!

I had acubase and did like it, except they had no plans to make it work for

multiple practitioneers and I have 6 folks i needed to put in there....For 3 or

less (I think) it works great.
