SimplePractice was built for behavioral health and therapy practices. Praxamed is engineered for medical clinics — primary care, specialist practices, and multi-provider clinics.
Medical practices need CMS-1500 claim submission with clearinghouse integration. Praxamed handles the full insurance billing lifecycle; SimplePractice's billing is designed for therapy codes.
Voxline AI answers every patient call, books appointments, and handles FAQs — replacing the need for a full-time front desk staff member for routine calls.
Praxamed includes lab orders, prescriptions, clinical encounter notes, and chart management — features medical practices need that are absent or inadequate in SimplePractice.
SimplePractice charges per clinician, which becomes expensive fast. Praxamed's practice-level pricing makes it more economical as your team grows.
SimplePractice is designed primarily for solo therapists and behavioral health providers. Medical practices (primary care, specialty clinics) often need more robust features like CMS-1500 insurance claims, AI scheduling, multi-provider management, and clinical charting — areas where Praxamed excels.
Yes. Praxamed includes full insurance billing with CMS-1500 claim generation, clearinghouse submission, ERA/EOB management, and superbill creation — making it a far stronger option for medical practices that bill insurance.
For medical practices (as opposed to therapy practices), Praxamed is better suited. It supports multi-provider scheduling, medical billing, AI front desk automation, clinical encounter notes, and lab order management.
Yes. Praxamed's Voxline AI receptionist handles patient calls 24/7, schedules appointments, answers FAQs, and captures patient information — a capability SimplePractice does not offer.
Praxamed offers transparent, practice-level pricing designed for medical clinics with multiple providers. SimplePractice charges per-clinician fees that scale poorly for multi-provider practices.
