DrChrono 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

None

Overall, drchrome application is user frindly and makes word very efficient. We have been using drchrome for a while and i can say that its multifunctional for the enterprise.

DrChrono has made organizing my life with patients sensitive information easy and effective.

Several major disappointments, but most recently Dr Chrono implemented a new policy that the EMR will not allow any staff, not even licensed staff, RN, LPN, etc, to send in a non-controlled prescription. All Prescriptions, even a BP refill can only be sent by the provider. This is not a new regulation from the state medical boards or DEA, and that same non-controlled RX can be called in by those same staff members. In a busy medical practice, providers do not have time to review a draft prescription and send in all the new prescriptions, much less all the routine refills and med changes, based on standing orders. Makes no sense to put these barriers in healthcare. These providers are already over worked and UNDER paid.

If you add a provider your monthly goes up, but if you let a provider go the bill never goes down. Over several years we ended up paying 3 times more per month than what our actual provider head count. Very expensive.

Signing up with Dr. Chrono was the worst practice decision I've made. They started off so well when we signed up in 2016. I loved them for the first couple of years. They offered to pay for me to attend a conference so that I would come to some marketing dinners and convince other providers to sign up. I almost did it, but scheduling didn't work. And then the honeymoon ended. First it was constant system slowness, glitches, then they outsourced their help desk. Every time I thought it wouldn't get worse, things deteriorated further. There is no easy way to export chart notes, so it will cost thousands and thousands to transfer 9 provider's worth of data elsewhere. I feel like a hostage. Some examples. In February, they broke our providers' inboxes. Instead of each provider seeing only their patient's messages and faxes like had been the case for 9 years, now we all see EVERYONE'S. In addition to privacy concerns, it makes a safety issue, as I have to wade through 100s of messages to find the 4 messages from MY patients. Very easy to miss important communications. We had to explain to them AGAIN 3 weeks ago why this thing they claim they have been working on for the past 3 months is a problem. Aetna ERAs for two of our providers still don't work, 5 months after they forced us to change clearinghouses. Labcorp won't complete the integration unless you pay thousands of dollars or send them a high number of lab orders per week. Appointment reminders didn't go out last weekend. We've had at least 3 days in the last year where the system was completely down for most of the day. Periodically, the system applies payments to balances, even though the transaction failed, so we have to watch carefully for that.

Very poor support system. Takes them 3-5 business days to respond to a simple issue. Billing system is also very poor.

Unintuitive, clunky, unreliable. On the bright side, DrChrono has a lot of potential to do a lot of things that it doesn't realize due to poor customer service, bugs, and very poor user experience.

Look elsewhere. Support is not helpful. You can submit a support ticket which results in either an awareness of an issue with no steps for resolution, or a flat out we can't reproduce your issue, sorry. They called and texted 150 of my clients at 2am, took no accountability for it and can not promise it won't happen again. I turned my reminders off completely, losing major functionality. There isn't a person you can contact or talk to about issues. A support ticket is your only option. And when you want to talk about contract issues, you wait weeks to get someone and multiple submissions about the same issue. There are so many buggy problems, appointments that don't save, billing that doesn't save, or requires multiple refresh or changes to take effect.

Myself and my team have had nothing but problems for years with DrChrono. The only reason we didn't switch to a better platform sooner was because my entire practice and systems were built around the software so switching and training on new software was such a huge undertaking (and they are aware of that and why they raise prices 10-15% each year for their customers). We lost soooo much time and money with all the issues we've had with them. After deciding to leave and switch to a better software, they have now sent us to collections for the remaining 2 months they say we owe for the software we are no longer using. I should be suing them for all of the mishandled insurance claims, security breaches and lost medical records that patients are requesting. DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY THEY ARE TERRIBLE!
