Top Chiropractic Office Software

Advantage Software
Advantage software offers complete practice management solutions for chiropractors, medical professionals and physical therapists. Their chiropractic office software features appointment scheduling, integrated billing, full and flexible reporting capabilities, document scanning, inventory control and marketing tools. In addition to these features, Advantage software is also fully customizable so it should suit the needs of both doctor and office staff. When we contacted the company for additional details, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Advantage chiropractic software retails for about $3,500.00 for the full suite. Users are also required to purchase an annual support plan which includes all training, technical support, updates and upgrades. The cost of the support plan is around $920.00 per year.

ChiroPad / ChiroOffice / ChiroSuite Software
ChiroPad is a paperless office documentation system developed by Life Systems Software. ChiroPad is a random text report generator that can be used to create SOAP notes and chiropractic narrative reports. The company's website states that their random text generator can greatly reduce the number of rejected claims which we dispute. Most claims are rejected not because of a lack of random text generation, but because of a lack of adequate documentation. No insurance adjuster will deny that. ChiroPad also features several context-sensitive graphical anatomy regions, voice capture abilities, embedded ink notes, and document scanning so your office can move toward a paperless existence. The ChiroPad software also integrates completely with ChiroOffice, a more robust and feature rich chiropractic software application that offers appointment scheduling, patient billing, fee scheduling, insurance processing, document scanning and patient letter generation. ChiroSuite is essentially ChiroPad and ChiroOffice combined into one program. ChiroSuite retails for about $3,500.00 and includes one year of free technical support and all upgrades. After that, it will run you about $1,000.00 per year for support and upgrades if you choose. The interface of ChiroPad appears very "out-dated" and lacks visual appeal. This is more than likely a result of the older technology the system was built on. For additional information please visit their website.

Some key features of ClinicPro software include user-defined security levels, fully integrated appointment book, ability to print patient statements and file claims electronically, voice recognition software, SOAP note and chiropractic narrative report generator, mail merge and EHR capabilities.

ChiroSmart EMR 
ChiroSmart is a "system in development" that is planned for release in late September 2007. Corporate states that the system will offer advanced scheduling with capabilities for multiple providers, billing, electronic data management and automated reporting. Billing services will be offered through Emdeon, the nation's largest clearinghouse. C.E.O., Bruce Shay has more than 17 years experience as a senior developer and project manager for Intel services. He and his team of IT professionals strongly believe that there is room for improvement with respect to the office management systems that are currently available to chiropractors. The company is committed to serving the chiropractic profession and has no plans to expand to other markets at this time. The ChiroSmart system is expected to retail for $3,499.00 with an annual support plan running an additional $600 - $800 depending on the number of office staff. They also plan to offer a very generous discount for new graduates and first year doctors. Clients will also have the option of trying the complete system for 14 days at no charge with limited support. No additional information is available at this time. We will update this review as more information becomes available including the official release date of the system.
