Clinical Limitations
When SimplePractice Starts to Feel Too General for Your SLP Practice
SimplePractice can work well for solo providers who need scheduling, forms, telehealth, and basic practice management.
But speech-language pathology practices work differently.
You are managing AAC evaluations, dysphagia assessments, fluency progress notes, insurance authorizations, and Medicare billing rules.
Billing Was Never Built for SLPs
SLPs doing insurance billing, Medicare, and Medicaid find SimplePractice frustrating. HelloNote includes insurance billing, claim tracking, and authorization management built for speech-language pathology practices.
Documentation Takes Too Long
SLPs need evaluation reports, treatment plans, progress notes, and discharge summaries that match their workflow. Not generic therapy templates adapted from a mental health platform.
Your Practice Is Growing
A solo workflow may not work once you add more SLPs, assistants, front desk staff, billers, and multiple schedules. HelloNote scales with you without changing platforms.
You Need More Practice Visibility
SLP practice owners need clearer reporting across scheduling, documentation, billing, patient flow, and team performance. Not just a basic dashboard.
If your EMR feels like it was built for a different kind of practice, it may be time to compare HelloNote.
BUILT FOR SLP PRACTICES
What Changes When Your EMR Was Actually Built for SLPs.
When SLP documentation, insurance billing, and practice reporting work together, you spend less time managing software and more time with your patients.

Real reviews from verified HelloNote users from top review sites.
★★★★★
Amazing customer service, affordable pricing options, billing, fax, EMR all in one. 10/10 recommend.
Google Review
★★★★★
I am a new physical therapy practice owner and have used many types of EMR software in my career, but never needed to be the end user as well as administrator/purchaser for any such software. I chose HelloNote over its competition for three main reasons: highly responsive customer service, a basic yet thorough all-in-one system for documentation, billing and practice management for my practice, and competitive pricing. Steve Glukh and his HelloNote team have been highly responsive to all my questions and concerns during the onboarding process continuing to today at nearly one year as a customer. The HelloNote team are prompt and efficient in helping their customers solve any issues thoroughly and quickly.
Google Review
★★★★★
Excellent documentation software. Easy to use. Lots of good support, I was assigned a mentor to help me get the hang of it. Good tutorials on their website as well. Best for small businesses as they are reasonably priced.
Capterra Review
★★★★★
My experience with HelloNote had been wonderful. The customer service staff is the best. As an OTR, it was time consuming to research for months for a good documentation software for my rehab company. I was introduced to HelloNote by another OTR after I reported to her my experience with the software I had just signed up with. What I like the most about HelloNote is the customer service and staff knowledge about specific inquiries. The staff members are prompt to reply to your questions and are always pleasant via help on the screen, phone, and email. HelloNote is very affordable and easy to use.
Capterra Review
★★★★★
Developed by therapists, easy to learn with step-by-step video training, and very affordable. The custom templates and autosave features make documentation so much faster.
