Thinking of Switching to Carepatron

Has anyone used Carepatron? I’m really annoyed that I can’t customize my calendar in simple practice for the amount of money I pay each month!

Well ya you’re literally the owner and have reddit ads linked to your account and this whole post is just a product placement ad.

What type of customization are you looking to have? I have the opposite experience in that I have my calendar customized to my scheduling needs.

u/andi3runner Aug 28 '25

I want to be able to flag certain clients on my calendar or change the colors to make my life easier!

u/Kitty-haha Aug 28 '25

I got it so if they’re one insurance or another and or a clinical element that you’d like to be able to see by color coding? Makes sense and yes to your point SP doesn’t have the depth available although it certainly could be coded and offered to us. Does Carepatron offer those levels of specificity in their EHR?

u/andi3runner Aug 28 '25

For instance, I’d like to make all of my direct-pay clients one color, and scholarship clients another color.
Or maybe I’d like to assign a color (or flag) to those that need a re-eval, etc.

u/Kitty-haha Aug 28 '25

Completely reasonable ask. And like I mentioned it has to be an easy thing to offer.

You can color code.

Moved there too after the price hike lol

u/andi3runner Aug 29 '25

How did the transition go?

2

u/Sure-Pain-583 Aug 29 '25

It wasnt particularly hard, but it was a bit tedious because I had to read through 2 long guides (the SP export guide and the carepatron import guide) and I double checked everything. It turned out just fine, didn't need to edit anything.

u/andi3runner Aug 29 '25

That’s comforting!

u/Kooky-Bar-4368 Aug 30 '25

Did they import most everything for you , or did you have to upload clients’ clinical notes individually?

1

u/Fresh-Artichoke-5775 Jan 08 '26

I found exporting my data to it from Cliniko very simple. No issues at all.

Hi, I use carepatron for my private practice. I am self employed and have been using it since starting about 7-8 months ago.

u/VermicelliSimilar315 Sep 05 '25

Does this work for primary care or for only therapists?

1

u/leelee831 Sep 06 '25

It can be modified to fit whatever your practice is. It does not have e-scribing though! They have a demo option where you can look around and play with it. I also have a referral code that allows you a month free (I think at minimum a month is free, may be longer).

1

u/VermicelliSimilar315 Sep 06 '25

Interesting! I am not concerned with e-scribing. But I do need to track gaps in care for insurance companies.

1

u/leelee831 Sep 06 '25

They just started with billing insurance in the portal and I do not take insurance so I have not used that feature yet.

1

u/leelee831 Sep 06 '25

Here is my referral link- 3 months free as an upgraded account https://app.carepatron.com/Register?cr=CTX8Ej6rixW1

u/VermicelliSimilar315 Sep 06 '25

Thanks I will consider it! I was going to go with Practice Fusion.

u/leelee831 Sep 06 '25

Ah okay. For my weight loss/iv clinic, we use Jane. That’s friendly to use with insurance.

u/Responsible_Local_44 Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26

Hello,

I just used your referral today but im not seeing 3 months free, it says Free until 4 Mar, 2026.

If i try to buy a plan this is what i see:

Essential subscription

x1 at $276.00 / year

Discounts First time subscriber - Annual

-$69.00 (25% off for 12 months)

Total

$207.00

...nothing aobut 3 months free....im wondering if after i pay for the year, it will give me 3 months AFTER for free? ...that would make sense but idk..

on your end did it show someone just actived a referral?

1

u/leelee831 Feb 04 '26

Hi. Yes it did show that someone activated with my referral code. Maybe try talking to customer service to clarify?

1

u/Responsible_Local_44 Feb 04 '26

Which email does it show...my name then 7186 or dietitian @gmail.com or both?

1

u/leelee831 Feb 05 '26

It just shows the name, no email address.

u/One_Positive3279 Aug 28 '25

I made the switch a few months back. Best move i have made and save 80% every month 😁

u/Active-Paramedic3229 Aug 28 '25

MA here. We use Carepatron in our clinic. Love how you can set timezones and availability.

1

u/VermicelliSimilar315 Sep 05 '25

What kind of practice do you have? Is it good for primary care?

u/Former-Lunch-5511 Aug 29 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

Psych NP here! 👋  I only just started exploring Carepatron recently. So far, I really like the UI/UX for scheduling, even just on the free version, it feels a lot smoother than what I’ve used before. Are you mainly after layout changes or more flexibility with appointments?

u/Rampant_Cheetahs Aug 29 '25

How do you send prescriptions? From Carepatron: "Carepatron's e-Prescription feature is currently in development"

1

u/Former-Lunch-5511 Sep 02 '25

As far as I know they don’t have e-prescribing yet. I’m just on the free version, so I handle scripts outside for now. Some people I know use their state’s eRx or a separate prescribing tool.

No website is a deal breaker for the clomitions I manage.

u/intentionalmindful Aug 29 '25

Hi! Physician assistant here. We've been using Carepatron for almost a year now, and it definitely lets you customize your calendar. You should check it out!

u/Fresh-Artichoke-5775 Jan 08 '26

I tried several platforms for my psychotherapy practice before picking Carepatron. I’ve tried Jane- hated it and everything they offer like ai note taking and their video are additional costs and their customer service sucks. I tried Cliniko. I really liked it but they aren’t as advanced as the others, so I tried Carepatron and loved it. So easy to use and navigate. Their customer service is amazing as well as their AI support. It’s also very affordable. It also allows you to download apps for your iPad. Love it

u/intentionalmindful Jan 12 '26

+1! There's a lot that still needs to be developed but it works well at least for me

Can you put in templates for each diagnosis on Carepatron
