CarePlanTrack vs ChiroTouch: which one keeps the care plan on track

ChiroTouch is a chiropractic practice management and records platform for the whole clinic, while CarePlanTrack is a narrow layer that watches whether the plan you sold gets finished.

The short answer

If you want one chiropractic system to hold charting, scheduling and revenue together, ChiroTouch is built for that job and CarePlanTrack does not replace it. We do one thing: visits sold against visits used, a progress page the patient can see, an alert when someone slips two visits behind pace, and a re exam that gets booked on the visit you promised rather than whenever it comes up. A solo or two provider clinic that already has records it trusts, and whose real problem is plans ending at visit nine, should start with the tracker.

CarePlanTrack and ChiroTouch side by side

Each row sets the two side by side on one part of clinic work: what the tool is, who can see the visit count, how missed visits and the visit twelve re exam are handled, and which size of chiropractic or osteopathic practice it fits.
What you are decidingCarePlanTrackChiroTouch
What it isA care plan tracker that sits beside the chart and billing tools you already use.A chiropractic practice management and clinical records platform for the whole office.
Question it answers firstIs this patient on pace to use the visits they paid for.Is the clinic running end to end, from booking through the chart to the claim.
What the patient seesA progress view with visits used, visits left and the date of the next re exam.Patient facing views follow the shape of the wider platform rather than one care plan.
Front desk routineA morning gap list of plans that slipped, in call order, before the first adjustment.Front desk work runs through the platform schedule and its own workflow design.
Clinical documentationNone. We never hold your PART findings, exam notes or outcome forms.Chiropractic charting is central to what the platform is designed to carry.
Billing and claimsNone. Prepaid plans are tracked as visit counts, not as claims or ledgers.Revenue work sits inside the platform scope alongside the rest of the record.
Getting startedThe owner sets up plan templates in an afternoon with no records migration.Adoption is a clinic wide project because the platform carries the whole record.
Who it suitsSolo and two provider clinics whose prepaid plans keep ending early.Clinics that want a single chiropractic vendor for records, schedule and revenue.

The right hand column places ChiroTouch by scope and by the sort of operator it serves, with no attempt at a priced feature list. Both keep changing, so check the current shape of each one before you choose. CarePlanTrack is published by MLJ, SASU and this page is written by Jimenez Julien.

Choose CarePlanTrack when

  • Your records system is fine and the real leak is plans that stop around visit nine.
  • You sell twelve, twenty four or thirty six visit plans and cannot see the burn rate by patient.
  • Your front desk needs a gap list every morning, not a second full system to learn.
  • You want patients to check their own visit count without calling the front desk.

Choose ChiroTouch when

  • You are moving off an aging chiropractic system and want one vendor for records and revenue.
  • Your documentation and claim work needs to live in the same place as the appointment book.
  • You have staff who need separate screens for charting, front desk and billing roles.

Where the two actually overlap

Both tools know how many times a patient has been on the table. The difference is what that number is for. Inside a full chiropractic platform, the visit count is a byproduct of appointments kept and claims filed. Inside CarePlanTrack, the visit count is the product: it is measured against a plan of twelve, twenty four or thirty six visits with a stated frequency and a re exam point, and it drives an alert the moment the patient falls behind pace.

That is why running both is normal rather than wasteful. The platform holds the exam findings, the PART documentation and the claim. The tracker holds the promise you made at the report of findings and tells you, on a Tuesday morning, which four people are drifting away from it.

What a care plan layer does that a broad platform does not

A care plan has a shape: an acute phase at three visits a week, a stabilization phase at two, a lower frequency tail, and a re exam that decides whether any of it continues. CarePlanTrack stores that shape and compares real attendance against it, so a patient booked twice a week who came once in the last fortnight shows up as behind pace rather than simply as a gap on a calendar.

The patient side matters just as much. Manual care sells on progress, and most patients cannot recall whether they are at visit seven or visit fourteen of what they bought. A progress page they can open on a phone turns an abstract package into a countable thing, which is the single cheapest way to keep someone coming through week four.

How to run both without double entry

Keep one source of truth for each fact. Appointments, notes and claims stay where they already live. CarePlanTrack takes the plan definition at the report of findings and the visit attendance, and nothing else. Nobody retypes a SOAP note, and nobody keeps a second schedule.

In practice the front desk touches the tracker twice a day: once in the morning to work the gap list, and once at close to mark the day complete and confirm the re exams due next week. Everything else is the platform doing what it was designed to do.

Questions people ask before they choose

Do I have to leave my current chiropractic records system?

No. CarePlanTrack is deliberately narrow and expects your exam notes, PART documentation and claims to stay where they are. It tracks plan definitions and visit attendance only. Clinics run it beside a full platform every day.

Can CarePlanTrack write my notes or file a claim?

It cannot, and that is on purpose. Charting and billing are heavily regulated jobs that belong in the system you already trust. We stay on the plan itself so the tracker never becomes something you have to certify or audit.

Which clinic sizes is CarePlanTrack aimed at?

Solo providers and two provider clinics, plus small groups running a handful of chairs. Our tiers run from Solo Provider at 49 dollars a month to Clinic Group at 199 dollars a month, so the pricing follows the number of providers rather than the number of visits you deliver.
