About TherapyCharts:
TherapyCharts is for clinical psychologists and other mental health professionals who are dissatisfied with paper charts, 20% insurance takebacks, and are fearful of healthcare regulations coming in 2012-2014. Our team of attorneys, computer security experts, and psychologists have created a web-based electronic health record (EHR) system that provides smart practice management for psychologists. Unlike competitors or other EMRs, we integrate remote accessibility, security, compliance and tailor it for the workflow of psychologists — all for a price comparable to the monthly cable bill — which is less than the cost to manually retrieve a patient record from the archives and much less than the cost of compliance fines. We aspire to become the place where mental health professionals go to store their records and process their claims.
