Portal Navigation is Difficult for Clients

Why is the Theranest portal so difficult for clients to navigate? So much of my time is spent helping clients navigate the portal, find previous payment information, etc. Especially billing...they have to click on “make a payment” to see payments they’ve already made? That is so confusing and completely illogical. Clients are stressed and anxious, and it’s been frustrating for them and me. They don’t need more stress in trying to access simple things. Because I can’t see their screen, it’s difficult for me to help them. It would be nice if Theranest could just have ONE link of instructions for clients where they can find help with all of the various topics (billing, superbills, insurance info, etc).

Is there a document I can download and share, or a video for clients I can add to our intake emails to help them understand more and eliminate the time spent on helping them? 

If it weren’t such a hassle, I would have switched from Theranest years ago!

Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I’m missing something.

Thanks!
