Opiniones de Qualifacts Insync

Billing Manager

Comentarios: We have been extremely happy with Insync so far, we're only a few months in but the amount of options and reporting is amazing.

Puntos a favor:

Reporting capabilities, claims options, work que's

Contras:

Time it takes to correct a problem, the repositioning of the screen when opening a new screen.

Could be Better, But Better than What We Had

Comentarios: We got into Insync before it was part of the Qualifacts brand, so I can't speak from the start of use till now (It was rather rocky, as systems we had been shown and advised were capable of being used turned out to be unusable or not available). However, since the purchase Qualifacts made, we have been given smoother update notifications, a better way to connect with customer service (we had previously never known where we were with an issue on Insync's side, but now we can track it), and there seem to be more improvements being made now each month.

Puntos a favor:

-Ease of Use -Everything you could need is in one system -Reports Pull Data with little to no missing data -So many helpful reports -Customizable -Customer Service has Quick Response Time -There are always improvements being made -We are encouraged to provide improvement requests -We are asked to provide feedback on our customer reps -Almost everything in the billing side of the system for the practice

Contras:

-The patient scheduler is an "appointment requester" and not a scheduler on the patient side. -The customer reps do not call when we provide them with times we are available. -There is a limited amount of my team wo are allowed to make tickets for issues, which does not help when they are having technical issues that we are not there to assist with when the customer reps call us, and not the person having the issue. -The knowledge of the customer reps when we explain how something should work, or how we would like things to work is a 4/10. -Having to purchase Insync, and not have a rent or trial option

Awful, RUN!!!

Comentarios: Want support? Nope, call or email India/Philippines/Pakistan and they will 'open a ticket' as they are 'not the right department'. Still waiting on one from over a week ago. The overseas staff is just like all of the other overseas staff everywhere, they are not allowed to think, they must read from a script. They don't listen, so they never understand the question until you go over it again and again. This is a very complex billing platform with no support, AND a LONG contract that you cannot get out of. You will regret using this.

Puntos a favor:

Not a thing. There is no redeeming quality.

Contras:

Everything. We just discovered that in 2024 alone (6 months), 663 claims NEVER generated. Why? So many issues with not creating revenue, claims or invoices. This is over a $1 million loss as many of the claims are medicaid with very tight timely filing requirements. Also since the Change Healthcare hack, they are making us use Availity and more than half of the claims we download from Insynch and upload to Aviality are 'missing', making a horrendous process to identify which went out and which ones failed. Insynch uses multiple clearinghouses to complicate things further.

Undecided too many problems with the software

Comentarios: Average, upset with broken promises, delays in getting paid due to program errors, I appreciate how hard the care center works to resolve issues, at times not worth the cost

Puntos a favor:

Has some nice features, enjoy the clinical charting schedule feature

Contras:

continual errors, very difficult to fix complex issues, causing billing delays, not keeping their word

Daily Insync User

Comentarios: After a short time utilizing Insync it was easy to navigate and it is efficient to carry over information from a previous note.

Puntos a favor:

-Being able to slide appointments to a different time slot -Seeing the number of started notes vs unstarted notes -The option to send to dos

Contras:

-Unable to copy and paste in charts in documentation -Having to reset the time seen when other information is not added in a specific order when scheduling an appointment

A mediocre review

Comentarios: I am not sure I would invest in it again.

Puntos a favor:

It is not as good as the credible product. I like the color scheme and the layout.

Contras:

The helpdesk staff are friendly but there are too many repeat tickets. The helpdesk does not know how to handle a small company with no experience in managing a health record. For example--change in codes requires more than a fee schedule change many other tickets to be put in. Terrible experience. One year of addressing this issue so we can bill the service-unacceptable.

Issues with Customer Service and Appointments

Comentarios: One of the things InSync had promised us on moving to them was the ability for patients to schedule their own appointment using the InSync dashboard. This was a lie, the patient can only request an appointment, and they can request any time slot even if the provider is not available at that time. This is NOT Qualifacts fault, by any means. But when I asked if this feature would be implemented I was told to reach out to ask for a meeting. All of my tickets for that request have gone missing and I have yet to hear from anyone regarding this. At the moment we have to use Availity for appointments and pay to have staff move the appointments from Availity to InSync.

Puntos a favor:

Qualifacts bought InSync, and one of the nice things is that they didn't completely gut the good things about InSync. They did work on fixing many of the issues that InSync had, which was very promising and very nice.

Contras:

When we first moved to InSync, it was so easy to call someone for help, now there is a ticketing system and I've actually had four to five tickets that completely disappeared so I'd recreate them. A month or so later I received an email regarding the ticket. The tickets had been internal only with no warning for me, which caused me to create more tickets, more than likely bogging down their system, and leaving me feeling ignored.

Getting Job done

Comentarios: So far so good, they get job done, they correspond quickly.

Puntos a favor:

That is more efficient getting issues solved

Contras:

Personally I like to speak to someone by phone, I'm old school.

Love working with InSync!

Puntos a favor:

We have worked with InSync since 2017, and they continue to make improvements and streamline the system every year.

Contras:

Other than the occasional glitch, I have no complaints!

This application has the potential to be great with a massive overhaul

Comentarios: Overall, I believe this application has the potential to be really good though it needs a rather substantial overhaul to be fully brought into the 21st century. For an application that hasn’t been around a decade, some of the features are quite dated and there is zero transparency on suggestions for application modifications and seemingly zero quality control. I firmly believe that many of this platforms limitations is the result of skill (or lack thereof) of the developers as many much older EMRs have the basic functions that InSynch lacks.

Puntos a favor:

You can add your own forms and documents. (Although said custom document seem to exist pretty much as stand alone documents. There is no way to inject otherwise populate data already within InSynch into said forms thereby requiring lots of manual typing of duplicative data).

Contras:

This application has NO test environment. This means when you Go Live and as you continually onboard new staff, you will be playing around in your live system. This matters because there is no way to delete anything in this platform, not even as an administrator. The application is exceptionally slow. There is no global autosave feature which means that there is a huge possibility of loosing data. Pages take a long time loading. The calendar needs a massive overhaul as it is very dated and rather limited. Providers cannot individually set their availability. Availability is limited to the agency hours and no appointments can be set outside of this without resorting to all sort of antics. Client documents must be added one at a time. Actually, very little can be completed in this application in bulk, which is very frustrating and time consuming. Moreover, you cannot download a clients entire chart at once. Each document must be downloaded one at at time which is unnecessarily laborious.

Customizable software for practices that operate differently from the rest!

Comentarios: Our overall experience with InSync was great! There were much fewer "disconnects" between what the sales team promised and what was actually delivered than we expected. Their company is highly organized and the process from sales to use was very transparent. In the areas where the software fell short, their team was able to provide a workaround for our practice in the short-term while their development team was notified to make long-term adjustments. The implementation process happened in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. Which for us meant moving our on-site implementation to virtual. With that being said, InSync was still able to provide a good implementation for our practice all through Zoom calls - which further speaks to how well trained and adaptable their staff is.

Puntos a favor:

- EHR module for mental/behavioral health services is very comprehensive and comes with the ability to automatically integrate patient responses on forms and normed tools right into your notes. - All of the reports are very comprehensive and export to excel with filters already built-in. You can get information as granularly as you need. - Generally, most aspects of the software are highly customizable. - Support and Implementation teams are highly accessible and responsive. - The development team seems to make rapid improvements and feature requests.

Contras:

- In addition to behavioral health, our practice also offers Speech, Occupational, and Physical Therapy services. Many of our patients are receiving services from multiple disciplines. Where this software excels on the behavioral health part of the EHR, it falls short for our other services. It does not have built-in templates/graphs for evaluations of the Allied Health disciplines and InSync does not have clinical professionals on their staff that really understand the clinical work-flow for those services which can make setup and implementation a challenge. We've also found that clinical goals can get shared across providers of different disciplines which can cause the note-taking process to be more cumbersome than necessary. - As this software is customizable you must "purchase" licenses for use. If you are a practice that has a fluctuating number of physicians, the process to get licenses for providers is over-kill. - With a high-level of customization comes many menus and places where changes can be made or things can be found (or lost). For many people, getting around the software is not as intuitive as others we've seen.

Review of Insync

Comentarios: With all of the above being said, I think [SENSITIVE CONTENT] did a great job! There were some hiccups along the way but he helped us walk through them. It is always hard going from one platform to another- you are so used to doing things the old way that you think that is the way the work flow should be. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] did a great job of showing us what we are capable of doing in Insync. He would ask "why do you want to do it that way" and the answer 90% of the time was because that was what we were used to. He would then show us how Insync gets to that same end result and why it was done that way. He went to bat for us with support to try and get a few things added/changed- a big one for us was the scheduler. In the old system we had a view where we could see all the facilities schedules on one schedule, we very much miss that view. We know that it may or may not be implemented but he was still willing to do the work to try. I always had lots of questions and he was always willing to answer them and if he didn't have the answer he was willing to spend the time to find the answer. He was a great asset to our implementation.

Puntos a favor:

(I used all three sections below to describe our overall experience with Insync) I would say that we are too new to the experience with Insync to really comment on if/how it has helped the business/ practice. I would like to comment on our implementation experience. It is my impression that no one really knew what was going on at the start, I do not blame this on any one person. It sounds like the type of training that we decided to do (Insync University with 10 hours of training with a specialist) was a new tier. Doing the training via the University came with its own challenges as it is hard to find space in a full practice for clinicians/ support staff to get training done. It would have been very nice to have an itinerary laid out. (We were given the itinerary for the large market at first and while that looked overwhelming it was nice to see the time frames and what was expected) For instance, week one workbook completed, week two- trainings 1-6 complete (setup reminder configuration), week three trainings 7-12 completed (ECPS done for the providers)..etc.

Contras:

There was a lot that needed to be done but I always felt like we were missing something or we were rushed to get stuff done because we didn't actually know it needed to be completed. When it came to training with a certified Insync trainer, we did one 5 hour block where we closed the clinic so everyone could attend the training. We walked away from that with lots of questions, unsatisfied. It may have been untraditional for a clinic to want to do all their clinical training in one setting but that is what worked best for us as a clinic. The trainer went through the initial setup of the EHR 4 different times, totaling probably 4 hours of that training. Each group that we had go (front desk, med providers, therapists) were walked through the basics/ set up of the EHR. We feel as though it would have been more efficient to have the trainer do the basics once and then break it down further with each individual group. Again, I don't blame this on one person, I think there was confusion based on the training package we bought. I hope our experience can help shape a better implementation process for future practices!

Worst EHR I have ever used

Comentarios: Worst, most time consuming and ineffective EHR I have worked with. And I have worked with many including in hospitals, private organizations and for the government. I would gladly go bad to any previous EHR just to avoid working any longer with InSync. This does NOT function well for the providers at our clinic using it. It has been a frequent and regular source of complaint

Puntos a favor:

In theory the idea that it is customizable was appealing. I can't call that a pro because it does not function effectively. I can honestly say that after working with it for more than a year there isn't a single thing I like about this EHR. I hate it. I don't have an option to change as I am part of a group practice that purchased it but all providers there reflect regularly on how displeased we are with InSync

Contras:

Constant bugs and problems. It does not appear that it is even checked for basic bugs after changes or updates. There are too many problems to list but something as simple as scheduling is so convoluted and problematic. It seems clear that the coders making the changes have no idea what it is like to use an EHR as a mental health professional, what is needed etc. A year later we are still having problems regularly. It is so incredibly time consuming just communicating with support staff about problems with InSynch - I never try to customize or improve anything because I can't rely on it to work and I can't even take time to think about what would be idea because so much time is spent asking about basic functions that aren't working or surprise problems

Insync Review

Comentarios: overall its a good app but it should be little more user friendly for the admin to make or add changes

Puntos a favor:

for the most part it works pretty well with no issues

Contras:

when a client cancels the confirmation should not go out

There are better products, with better response times

Comentarios: It has been a headache since the merger. More steps to make things take longer. Less responsive on their communication and less customer oriented.

Puntos a favor:

I used to love InSync until Qualifacts gobbled them up, now their support, communication and product is hopeless. You submit a ticket and it gets lost in an abyss with one person pointing the finger at the other.

Contras:

Their lack of communication, their response times, their support. You are better off saving your time and energy and use an open sourced software that you can customize.

Insync

Puntos a favor:

Customizable templates.Advanced Reporting.Personalization Ability.

Contras:

PricingTime it took for Implementation (long)

[sensitive content hidden] is wonderful

Comentarios: [sensitive content hidden] has been wonderful to our experience with implementing Insync. She is patient, attentive, and makes a very technical process personable.

Puntos a favor:

So far this appears to be streamlining a lot of our processes and helping us to be more efficient in our documentation workflows. Even more than the product, I have been so impressed by the quality of care [sensitive content hidden] has provided to our team as we have rolled out implementation in our clinic.

Contras:

The system does not allow for some of the flexibility I would desire with comprehensive psychological evaluations utilizing outside assessment tools.

SRVpt

Comentarios: so far so good....I would like to see changes in the scheduling, appt reminders, and kiosk

Puntos a favor:

MY implementation team with [sensitive content hidden] was awesome. They were helpful, creative and responsive

Contras:

Limitation in adding and scheduling patients...it takes multiple step to make it happen. There are also significant limiations with the appt reminders and kiosk

Mixed Batch

Comentarios: Overall it has often felt like smoke and mirrors on many occasions. We greatly appreciate the support of our Account Manager [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and really loved [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]; however, the sales team really sold us on all the support that we will obtain and then after changing Account Managers after starting and having to ask really pointed questions we only over the last two months are crystal clear on what InSync/RCM will and won't do and we specifically told the sales team that we did not have any billing team or any front office staff to support us and we were told not a problem "we do it all from nuts to bolts." As a result of this misled information we are now paying for additional support staff that we previously did not have because it is clear that InSync/RCM does not "do it all."
The amount of changes mid-stream that we have had (i.e., our software wasn't set up for onboarding, the person who trained us left the day of our training, you switched our Account Manager after 2 months of onboarding us, we lost our auth specialist, we were never fully trained on all the reporting available, and we weren't fully trained on the Issues log) happen has been very disconcerting. It makes us wonder if the business model at InSync/RCM is truly focused on supporting the businesses they are set to support or they are focused on only their business model. This all has left us wondering if we made the right choice.

Puntos a favor:

The basic use of the product in providing and generating progress notes and an assessment are easy to use; however, the actual nuts and bolts of what can be done and all the workflow specifics of what support can provide the user was not a known reality to our group. We really like that for those bills that are straight forward and clean that we are seeing a return pretty quickly. We love the fact that the software can be versatile and provide us data points as long as you know how to select all the specific fields to generate the report.

Contras:

We find obtaining data reports quite difficult because there are so many specific items that must be set up in the individual reports it is hard to use in that way. Given that our set up was botched and then our training was limited thereafter it led to us finding 8 months later that we were not closing loops on our claims which has led to a great deal of financial loss. I think the biggest concern is that the sales team really misspoke when they said that we were all fine and that the billing team will do it all for us. That resonates in my mind almost weekly as we continue to slough through billing issues that were made in the beginning. Equally, that the person who was to do our set up and have us ready did not have our system set up which greatly delayed our onboarding and vastly changed our system and created a lack of trust from the onset. Outside of that the fact that our Account Managers changed before we were fully onboarded caused us to struggle with the Issues Log down the road as well. Presently our additional issue is that we have not been able to easily identify where our total issues log items reside to follow up with a "click of a button" like the sales team said would happen. Another concern is that in trying to set up a customizable report by meeting with our support team three times has led to more concern that those that write the custom reports do not understand what the user wants regardless of how we explain it.

A Highly recommended software

Comentarios: I give it high marks overall. I was expecting some of my staff to be challenged using the software but everyone is catching on fast without problems

Puntos a favor:

After reviewing many other software, we decided on InSync. We found it to be very comprehensive. It is easier to understand and use once we made time to understand the system. My implementer was patient and is a good teacher.

Contras:

It is not a software to learn on the fly. You have to devote a time to understand it and it becomes easier to use. Other than that I do not have much against the software.

InSync for PPEC use

Comentarios: Overall I feel that InSync is an excellent EMR system. Our implementation team, with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] as our main contact, were extremely professional and resourceful. Being a PPEC facility was not an easy task for the implementation team as we have different requirements than what the EMR system was typically used for; however, they seemed ready for the challenge. Without [SENSITIVE CONTENT] helping to adapt the program to meet our needs, we would not have been able to have a successful implementation. I appreciated how organized the company was with onsite discovery, training of super users, and on site training. It was also very helpful to learn all of the features of the program to ensure we were comfortable with transitioning to support. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] made learning easy, created "how-to" videos as needed, made himself available via zoom/emails for additional help, and introduced us to Ameya Walawalkar, who was a huge asset in implementing the billing portion of the program. It was great being able to brainstorm with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] to build the system in such a way that could be utilized by any PPEC. I should also mention that we are a small PPEC who, before InSync, never utilized an EMR system nor clearinghouse. I can proudly say that we are now able to efficiently utilize an EMR program for daily documentation and billing. It was a please to be able to work with such a great team and great company.

Puntos a favor:

The best features of the program are definitely the To-Dos and internal messaging. As a facility with various departments utilizing the system, it makes communication and team work so much easier. We also love the aesthetics of the program. Viewing important patient information on one page (Facesheet) makes documenting easier. As a super user, I love being able to create/edit my own forms to make the program more applicable to our needs.

Contras:

Though the implementation team, specifically [SENSITIVE CONTENT], worked tirelessly to tweak the EMR system to meet our needs, there are plenty of features that are needed to maneuver the system more effortlessly for a PPEC facility. The care plan section under treatment plan will be a future issue for the therapy department. Our patients can be enrolled in therapy up until 21 years of age and treatment plans are updated every six months. At this time, the EMR does not drop off/inactivate old goals created in treatment plans resulting in the potential of having 21 years of goals viewable in the system. In addition, the eMAR portion of the program is in need of enhancements to make it more user friendly for our nursing staff. We are unable to edit sig/instructions, start/stop dates without the assistance of support staff from InSync. PPECs are typically open 12 hours a day, M-F; however, some medications entered on the eMAR are given outside of business hours. At this time, our nursing staff have to enter "medication to be given at home" for every medication scheduled outside of business hours. It would be beneficial for any business that administers meds during a specific time frame to have the capability to set time parameters to decrease the daily work/responsibilities, allowing more one on one patient care. Reports/analytics also requires some new features, as we are unable to run medication reports, specifically what has been administered within a specific date range/drug type.

Great EMR

Comentarios: We made the decision to switch to inSync less than 8 months after going live with another new PM/EMR system because our experience with that other software was so horrible. Two major EMR transitions within the course of a year was a big undertaking but the entire process, from the first demo call to our final implementation call has been basically painless. The satisfaction of our clinicians and clients has improved significantly and while we are still learning things within the software, we are extremely satisfied with the switch. Our implementation specialist, [SENSITIVE CONTENT], was by-in-large the most critical component in our satisfaction as she was incredibly responsive, helpful, knowledgable, and capable of assisting us in problem solving.

Puntos a favor:

Integration of telemedicine and assessment administration have been great additions to our practice and clinician workflow. The software is intuitive enough that most of our clinicians have picked it up with relative ease and appreciate the convenience of it not being overly cumbersome compared to our previous EMR.

Contras:

There are some limitations with third-party integration (specifically appointment reminders, billing, and faxing) that we would like to see enhanced.

Highly disappointed in this product; if on the fence, look elsewhere

Comentarios: I was initially excited about this new system because of the capabilities that it was said to provide (i.e., customization to meet the needs of the clinic, streamline communication between 2 locations, departments and therapists, ability to complete daily notes quickly and easily, ability to keep up with progress reports and due dates, simple and intuitive user experience). However, from the first day it was a complete nightmare, greatly contributing to my decision to leave the practice and seek employment elsevisor, it was always difficult to review my assistants paperwork remotely. We eventually had to schedule extra time outside of our normal duties just to sit down and go over paperwork face to face.
This system caused me to spend countless extra hours working at home and at the clinic just to troubleshoot. My efficiency and quality as a therapist was compromised; More focus and time was needed to deal with inSync, leaving very little time to plan effective treatment sessions and give clients what they need. In turn, this created dissatisfied clients. How could it be improved?: The only way this system could improve is to not exist. I not only lost income and time, but I also decided to leave a great company solely due to this software.

Puntos a favor:

Implementation team was kind and helpful when on site.

Contras:

1. The system was always freezing up causing me to lose paperwork. If it didn’t freeze, sometimes it would take 30+ minutes to load the next page or save when working on things like evaluations. 2. The user interface is very complex to navigate and learn. Requiring countless hours of unpaid work. 3. As a supervisor, it was always difficult to review my assistants paperwork remotely. We eventually had to schedule extra time outside of our normal duties just to sit down and go over paperwork face to face. 4. Whenever there were updates, so many things would change, it was like learning the system all over again. 5. Patient files, names, contact info and important dates were very difficult to access causing many miscommunication between therapist and families. where. 6. Printed documentation was poorly formatted, further impacting my professional image as well as the clinic's

Implementation Review

Comentarios: The program is really advanced and streamlined. There are many features currently available, and they are always taking notes to make improvements & better the system. Overall, once we have more data in place, and time under our belt, I think it will be a very good system for our practice.

Puntos a favor:

Having a full team / supports to train & dissect each area to best fit our needs for workflows. Tamara Davis was our implementation specialist. She was ON-IT! She was beyond diligent in documenting what we needed to do, what was done, questions / concerns, and everything under the sun. Excellent follow up as well. I big thank you to her. This transition could have been treacherous without someone who paid such diligent attention to everything. #Wonderful

Contras:

Data migration is seemingly quite a long time. It has been abundantly stressful on my business office (Clinical receptionists / Intake coordinators / billing specialists) to toggle back and forth to see if we have consents from old system to new system, as well as not having all the demographics transfer over. (ie parent information etc). Additionally, I would say the astounding #1 least enjoyed aspect is trying to get all prior clients / as well as any new clients set up in the portal. The process is fairly simple via create username / give password / bing-bang-boom. However, GOOGLE's enhancement + Iphones + tablets etc cause excessive grief. Client's are frustrated trying to transition, clinicians are frustrated the Hx is not in & auto-populating the notes, front office is burnt out trying to ensure the transition is being completed in any sort of cadence. - EASILY the biggest con we have. :(

Very very good EMR

Comentarios: I am able to now say to the government that I have an EMR that is certified for MIPS and the other current government requirements, which will allow me to avoid penalties in the future.

Puntos a favor:

It is cloud based so I don't have to go in after hours to do constant "updates" like I used to on my old EMR. THe presentation of the screens appear professional and the notes are laid out in a professional appearing fashion. I like the lab interface as well and the patient portal is very nice.

Contras:

The templates are not as robust as what I am used to. THey only allow you to save pre-clicks in the physical exam templates and I really miss it in the Review of Systems. The medication/allergy modules are a third party and don't interface seemlessly with the software. For instance, if a pharmacy sends me a request for a refill on Joe Smith, I can't just click on Joe SMith's name and be brought to the refill screen automatically. I have to log out of the pharmacy screen, search for the patient's name in the EMR, navigate back to the medicine module, search for the medicine that they requested and THEN finally refill it. This is very inefficient. If the pharmacy is requesting medicine XYZ for Joe Smith, we should be able to be brought to the refill of XYZ on Joe Smith with literally one click and no typing of names. I think they are working on fixing this so I am hopeful it will improve soon.
