Epitomax Software by Psytech Solutions
 | 3 Reviews (4.3/5) |
Epitomax EHR/PM by PsyTech Solutions is an ONC-ATCB certified electronic health records (EHR) and practice management (PM) software suite designed specifically for behavioral and mental healthcare providers. The Software-as-a-Service application is run entirely over the web and is paid for on a monthly basis. Epitomax is HIPAA-compliant and encrypted by SSL security technology.
In addition to core features for managing patient demographics, treatment plans, assessments, and progress notes, Epitomax offers a few features unique to the behavioral healthcare software industry. These features include the ability to link a progress note directly to a treatment plan, electronic claims submission with no additional charges, or optional use of PsyTech’s billing staff as an outsourced billing provider. Epitomax also offers advanced features for e-prescribing and patient portal for providers requiring them. Furthermore, PsyTech custom builds and loads templates into the system during the implementation at no extra cost to customers.
Epitomax is designed for mid-sized to large behavioral health practices with 6 or more providers, 20 or more employees, and 10 or more software users. Due to the robust product offering and affordable price point, the system is a popular option for organizations looking for an enterprise-class system without a large upfront spend. We often recommend it to organizations outgrowing legacy practice management systems, paper charts, or EMR/PM systems that are not truly designed for mental or behavioral organizations.

The implementation of Epitomax went well, although quite a bit of set-up is required to mold the application to your organization. It's this level of flexibility, however, that allows Epitomax to grow with your business in an ever-changing healthcare environment. Any implementation takes both internal and provider resources to make it successful. Psytech Solutions did an amazing job leading us through the implementation process and has provided excellent customer service from day up to present - five years later. Psytech Solutions is by far one of the most competent and responsive vendors I have worked with throughout my IT career.
Epitomax is replacing all of our outdated systems and has given us the power to enter into customer contracts with much more complex billing requirements. In the past we would have no way to bill for the services we are billing now. The system has helped us grow in line with our strategic vision of providing innovative services to youth and families.
I would highly recommend this software for small and larger practices based on functionality/feature set, ability to scale with a growing business, and outstanding customer support.
Our search was extensive and included about 6 months' worth of demos and research. Ultimately we were searching for a system that would allow an affordable implementation with features that could be customized to fit our organization. Epitomax was the only software that offered everything we were hoping to find - 1) Affordable implementation and service fees; 2) concurrent users; 3) remote implementation and 4) excellent customer service.
Prior to implementing Epitomax we primarily used paper records and spreadsheets for all accounting. While the implementation was huge, we were able to break it down into small steps, which allowed for an overall successful implementation. We began our implementation is November 2009 and were fully functional by January 2010. Along with Michael's support and patience, we have continued to customize Epitomax to fit our ever-changing needs as our organization has grown. The customer support offered by Epitomax is its best asset!
We expected that our documentation would be greatly simplified and more easily accessible by implementing Epitomax. What we didn’t anticipate was the overwhelming improvement in quality assurance activities, compiling outcomes data and the simplification of billing. By implementing Epitomax we were able to reduce our Billing Process from 3 steps to 1! Our Quality Assurance department has been able to maintain its size even as we have increased our services due to the efficiency offered by such a seamless EHR. For those of you who compile yearly Outcomes Reports, you will be amazed at the data you can obtain through Epitomax Reports.
As an owner of a Behavioral Health Company, I can honestly say that Epitomax has proven to be one of the best investments we have made.
Although some features do require a bit of up-front learning to achieve familiarity, the support at Psytech is fantastic. Allen, Jennifer, Mike, Jerry and the gang have been there every step of the way to provide guidance and technical assistance, including helping to correct the occasional, "oops, did I do that." We have found all of their support personnel to be friendly, knowledgeable and prompt with solutions to our needs and concerns.
For a DIY type program, Epitomax provides a technical and sophisticated set of tools that are useable even for the technically un-savvy, thanks to the skilled support of the folks at Psytech. It is helpful to have an in-house person who is more technically savvy but extensive knowledge of computers is not required.
We searched far and wide before choosing our solution. We found nothing that compared with the functionality and power of Epitomax for such a reasonable price tag. After a little over a year we've been very pleased. I would recommend the product to others enthusiastically.
