Online Support

Ask your Medisoft question on our MedTech Medisoft User Forum. This forum was created by and is maintained by us to provide an additional resource for our customers. It contains a collection of topics that have been posted by users like you. The posts are answered by either Gavin Walker (Owner/Operator), or MedTech staff within one business day.

When troubleshooting Medisoft issues, you may want to give the above a look to first see if your particular issue has already been posted with a solution before you pursue paid support to get it resolved.

Telephone/Remote Access Support

We feel we offer top quality support for a competitive price in comparison with the scope of Medisoft VARs available. Gavin Walker resolves support calls. He has 17 years of programming experience. He used to write medical billing applications and passed the Medisoft certification test…the first time. Will Highley is our Support Manager and Jim Updegraff is Tech Support. They will be happy to address your questions or concerns and assist in troubleshooting problems you are experiencing.

Our technical support includes virtual on-site support. Virtual on-site support (VOS) is the remote control and sharing of your computer’s desktop upon your permission. This permission-based control enables real-time ad hoc collaboration. We are able to see what you see on your program, greatly streamlining the support process.

Extra Services

Certain services are not applicable to MedTech's regular support agreement.

  • Data File Repair - This service may be necessary if your Medisoft files have become damaged through incidents such as a power surge or computer hardware problems.  We charge $200 to perform a Medisoft data repair. We highly recommend that a backup of your data is made on a regular basis. The restoration of a current backup will be the most cost effective solution for data corruption.
