Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between mePro and Carepatron?
+
Carepatron is a broad practice management platform across many healthcare disciplines. mePro is therapy-specific with a full AI workforce.
Does Carepatron have AI like ProGPT?
+
No. Carepatron's AI is a general scribe that drafts notes across plans. Carepatron's AI doesn't know your clients and doesn't support treatment planning or clinical questions. ProGPT does all of that. It's built into mePro.
Does mePro include everything Carepatron does?
+
Yes, and more. mePro covers all the basics, plus therapy assessments, supervision tools, and Canadian compliance — the parts Carepatron doesn't cover.
Is mePro only for solo therapists?
+
No. mePro is designed for students, new practitioners, solo practices, group practices, and large organizations, all at the same flat price.
Can I move my data from Carepatron to mePro?
+
Yes. We move it for you. Clients, notes, schedules, billing history — all of it. Nothing gets left behind, and you don't have to rebuild your practice from scratch.
Why choose mePro instead of Carepatron?
+
Because therapy needs more than software built for everyone. mePro is made for therapists, with AI doing the real work across notes, treatment plans, assessments, and the chart itself.
