ECLIPSE Software
 | 9 Reviews (5.0/5) |
In 1985, a chiropractor and software developer teamed up to create ECLIPSE. Today, ECLIPSE is ONC-ATCB certified as a Complete EHR and used by thousands of chiropractic, physical therapy and medical offices in all 50 states.
With an extraordinary feature list that can only be associated with the product’s longevity and widespread use, ECLIPSE has gained an unrivaled reputation for performance. Routinely used by multi-site practices with hundreds of users and 150,000+ patients, it’s also proved itself to be amazingly cost effective for small practices with one or two providers.
Since MPN invented the concept of case management under a single ID# way back in 1987, users can be assured that unique innovations appear throughout the product – whether you need to create a custom form to streamline 3rd party payer requirements or seamlessly synch the scheduler with your smartphone in real time via the Google calendar.
ECLIPSE has been INGENIX certified for HIPAA mandated electronic claim submission protocols since 2003, and billing, scheduling, alerts, reminders, SOAP and document management are all standard.
One feature we find especially beneficial to ECLIPSE users is the ability to pull up multiple patient files without having to retrace their steps or undo previous activity. This accessibility of patient charts helps the user reduce extraneous clicking and makes the system an especially good fit for front desk workflow.
Due to its popularity, ease of use, and straightforward functionality, we feel comfortable recommending ECLIPSE to all sizes of chiropractic, physical therapy, and pain management practices.

I have been a lover of the Eclipse Software since it first came out over 20 years ago. It handles all of my office needs, including some I didn’t know about until I read a competitor’s ad and found that the Eclipse Software System had it as well. This is one computer software system that you will be happy with for the rest of your practice career, and you too will refer others. Trust me; I was their 3rd customer, and I have been telling my colleagues about them ever since. I guarantee you will be happy with your purchase, and you’ll be telling your colleagues the same thing.

I’ve been a user of Eclipse since I first opened my practice in 1991 and it was running in DOS. Over the years they have always answered all my questions, helped me fix all my mistakes, and always kept me equipped with the latest tools I need for today’s world of electronic healthcare records. It keeps my data safe, secure, and most important accurate. If Eclipse says it’s so, it is so.
A couple of years ago when NYS changed the workers compensation billing forms, Eclipse had the new one ready and downloaded in an update ahead of schedule. Many of my friends with other programs where worrying if their vendors would ever get around to adding the forms and Eclipse was already done. Each and every time there has been a change in reporting standards, Eclipse has always out-performed my expectations!
In today’s scary world of healthcare changes, don’t let your software be part of the problem. Get Eclipse and you never have to look back!

In 1985, after carefully reviewing all the practice management software available for chiropractic & medical professionals, I was unable to find anything that provided report functions I felt I needed for my rapidly growing practice. ECLIPSE provided a solution, first for billing, then for appointment scheduling, that could handle our volume on the limited hardware of the 1980’s. By the 1990’s, SOAP was integrated. Each & every time insurers made us jump through new hoops to get paid – such as filling out myriad new forms to pre-certify visits – ECLIPSE provided new solutions to minimize paperwork and maximize time savings.
In fact, custom form creation was one of my favorite features of the last decade and allowed me to integrate custom BC/BS forms (without any programmers) so we could print them in seconds instead of filling them out by hand in 20 minutes. In addition to the tremendous time savings, the forms were now much more accurate and helped us cut down on payment problems resulting from simple typos!
And since many of my staff members were terrified of computers, it’s a testament to its ease of use that they’ve managed so well. Of course, the electronic billing alone probably saved me from having to hire additional staff.
Now, the latest SOAP technology seems to make it even easier to record accurate notes. During my 25+ years in practice, I’ve performed IME’s and reviewed documentation for payers. This has provided an opportunity to review S.O.A.P. from a variety of our colleagues. Documentation differs drastically from one physician to another. We use different techniques, went to different schools, attended different seminars and have been taught a variety of viewpoints. ECLIPSE allows for customization – especially in those areas where chiropractors may differ extensively from one another. And it’s fast.

This Chiropractic Software is great for doctors just starting out or continuing to grow his/her practice. We purchased Eclipse when we started our practice 4 years ago and the program continues to grow with us. Very impressed with new updates that come out monthly with no extra charge and amazed at how easy the notes program is to use.
We have dealt with many software companies and this is the first that trainers truly had our best interest in mind/wanted to see us succeed and the tech support is right here in the USA!

I have been a user of Eclipse for about 17 years. I used it as a office manager at my husband's chiropractic office. I loved the program and the details it allowed us to track. In 2003 my partner and I opened up a our own billing company for chiropractors. It was a natural choice for us to use Eclipse. Eclipse software is growing and changing to meet the demands that the insurance companies are constantly putting on billing companies. I love that it is all-inclusive software. They do not nickel and dime you for every feature you want; it's a one stop shop. Maintenance and all updates, additions and changes are included. From entering charges to tracking an authorization to entering a soap note to making an appointment to doing electronic billing and most importantly EHR records, the program does it all. It's the best buy in the industry.

Over the many years of using ECLIPSE, 13 to be exact, the vendor has NEVER given us a reason to look elsewhere. They have always met state & federal deadlines well before the mandate, as well as the constant need to keep up with today's ever-changing technology.
Training new staff & providers is a cinch because of its comprehensiveness & ease of use. In our busy office learning curves need to be short &, thanks to ECLIPSE, we can accomplish that. There are just too many features to list in ECLIPSE that have helped us over the years & as we have continued to grow. Simply said-it's AWESOME!

Our office has been using Eclipse Practice Management software for almost 10 years. In that time we have always been impressed with Eclipse's ability to keep up with new rules, regulations and requirements. They are always willing to listen to suggestions and ideas on improvements that we in the "field" may need. For those reasons we decided to stay with Eclipse at the beginning of 2011 knowing they were not yet EHR certified. We knew from past experience that Eclipse would be certified this year, that they would do it in a timely manner and that they would be open to user suggestions along the way.
We were not disappointed. We have attested with the EHR incentive program using Eclipse Practice Management software. The initial process of getting required information entered is time-consuming, but Eclipse's quick data entry options speed the process up. Not only have we attested, we have passed the attestation which means for us the check is the in the mail.
Eclipse was with us all through the process. They helped us figure out exactly how to enter information for it to "count" for the incentive. They were there when we found little hiccups in the system along the way and their development team always fixed them in a very timely manner.
So, for those in doubt, doubt no more. We use Eclipse and we qualified for meaningful use. We were able to run reports for the clinical quality measures, we attested, we passed and now we are waiting for payment. We're glad that we stuck with Eclipse - they know what they are doing.

My name is Dr Brett Pastuch. I am a chiropractor in New York for over 20 years. I have used 3 other programs to help run the practice over the years. My most recent software (altapoint) has not updated to include the new workers compensation billing forms. I knew I needed to find new software, however the changing of software has always been a "nightmare". Eclipse was fantastic in teaching my staff how to use the billing part of the software. When it came time to train me on the soap notes they were great. The notes are easy to use and much better then my old system (auto-doc). The best thing about eclipse is the customer service. They continue to help my office daily. They are working everyday with my office to help with the Medicare EHR incentive program.

First, you should know that our office attested to CMS for Meaningful use on October 19, 2011 and received the full $18,000 on November 30, 2011. It was quick and easy. And best of all, we received our payment during the first year of availability because ECLIPSE was certified before all the initial deadlines.
I’ve been in practice since 1983 and began using ECLIPSE in 1989. At the time, software was all about billing… and there was a clear difference between ECLIPSE and everything else we looked at. Within the next decade, after some experimentation, a scheduler had been developed and integrated that was as terrific as the billing. Throughout this period – because I’m comfortable with technology – I kept checking out competitive products.
As we moved through HIPAA, ECLIPSE was always updated so my staff & I stayed in compliance with the law. And the features kept growing – like the form generator that saves us so much time handling the paperwork we’re constantly bombarded with. During that time, I had an idea for an add-on component that would handle electronic sign-in, hired a programmer, and had it integrated directly with the ECLIPSE database – something I couldn’t have easily done with another product. It worked out so well that now a team of programmers maintains it and it's in widespread use.
I’ve been using the ECLIPSE EHR to scan EOB’s (among other things) for years, have all my SOAP in ECLIPSE and have worked through subsequent generations of SOAP as they improved the product. The Encounter – which is a completely new design – allows me to handle my notes in seconds… a feat rare among friends & colleagues with various SOAP systems. And I still appreciate the fact that MPN developed every aspect of ECLIPSE themselves… and haven’t licensed their scheduler… or their SOAP… or their billing… from other companies! It makes the program easier to learn for my staff & me.
The bottom line is pretty simple. Many of my colleagues have been forced to make new purchases as their software of choice fell behind current technology. It’s a story that seems to repeat itself regularly. Yet, those of us who purchased ECLIPSE are still using it. And they’re the only company I know of that hasn’t raised fees for their certified products. I don’t know any doctors who’ve received incentive payments using a product that’s been around for more than two decades!
