iSalus EMR 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

When shopping for an EMR and Billing solution, the Isalus sales staff were the best. But it was a classic case of over-promising and under-delivery. I admit, I am not a billing clerk, just a therapist. But I have used 4 other EMR programs for other companies in the best. Office EMR is overly complicated, in terms of the number of clicks or steps required to complete any action. On any given screen or section of the program, there are lots of icons and tabs, but nothing is intuitive. Worse than that, when you are learning the system, they provide long boring video tutorials with way too much detail about what every single button does. They don't provide written directions or quick start guides. So if you watched that video 3 months ago, you have nothing to refer to. They want you to watch the video again and again. Honestly, who has time for that? I have had the unfortunate experience of needing technical support because a session note disappeared, or a claim could not be found. The IT department has been very slow to respond. Since they are in another time zone and seem to quit at 5:00, there is a slow response time. When I first signed up for the program a year ago, I was told the program would run on other internet browsers within two months. That 'alternative fact' is still not true after a year of new promises that were not kept. We are not pleased that this system has not increased our reimbursements from insurance companies. That was the main reason we were willing to go ahead and commit to them. But with all the headaches and disappointments, our company is planning to move to a more user friendly product that will run on something besides Internet Explorer. The cumbersome set up and procedures for session notes and evaluations is one of the most difficult I could imagine.

We started using iSalus after trying two other online EMR and billing programs. We're were trying to go "cheap" and the first one we used was a total disaster (like, something from the early 80's), and the second one we tried was not bad, but we came up against barriers several times that they didn't think were very important (thus refused to fix), and their customer service was horrific. WELL, then we tried iSALUS - and WOW, WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT! The program is very professional (definitely "21st century/current technology" driven), way more than we expected. It is easy to use and easy to learn - so the transition was very smooth. I love the scheduler, and of course everything else interconnects, so my records, billing, history, etc. is right there at my fingertips. I personally don't deal much with the billing end, but the person that works for me has picked it up pretty quick. Our psychologist (who is definitely NOT tech savvy) has found doing his progress notes, treatment plans, etc. on iSalus's EMR a breeze! iSalus has set up the customer service in a unique way as well - so in the beginning, you have your own personal customer advocate to help you through the transition process, and a specific number of hours are dedicated to tailoring your iSalus experience specific to your practice needs. Awesome! Once the transition is complete, you move to a regular customer service department that seems to be very knowledgeable and very responsive. Now, the MOST EXCITING part (for me) is that I can now use the program on my Mac! Very important, as I don't like carrying around 2 computers when I work at home or on the road. Conclusion - Great program, fair price (way less than one that I looked at that was comparable), wonderful customer service, and a company dedicated to being the best. Love it!

This company hold you to broad contracts. We recently lost a provider and had one retire and they continue to charge us 450 per provider until our contract is up and agreed to remove those providers if we signed another 2 year contract. Also their RCM left us with loss of over 300k in AR do to lack of denial working and medical records requests. They would also post entire collections to 1 DOS in patient accounts causing us to hire other outside help to post all the payments so we could send correct statements.

Truly disappointed!!

This software is advertised as being free. As expected, that claim is to good to be true. The program is free, however the training is not. They have created a bunch of training videos that will explain all the features of the software, however unless you are paying the fees you have no access to the videos. The software seems like it works well and has all the features that a clinician/clinic would need including easy scheduling and billing. I think the charting portion is more complicated and less intuitive than it should be. The customer service department is really nice and helpful, but it is not possible to make use of the free platform and becomes cost prohibitive for a small physical therapy practice.

Needed EHR for private practice and something that was mobile for a small business.
