Wiki/Help
Our entire support department is ready to answer your questions, help you navigate through any unfamiliar territory, and support your office in every way possible. We are dedicated to building customer loyalty, so we train each and every support team member to provide quality service, fast response, and knowledgeable guidance through our products and services.
For quick answers at your fingertips, check out our Wiki !
The Wiki, which provides a 'How-To' approach to utilizing CollaborateMD, is a combined effort of our in-house software development, documentation, support and quality assurance teams.
If you would prefer to contact our support department, please choose one of these methods below:
Internal Messaging - Once you are logged in, you can send secure messages directly to the support staff. A case will be created for your question or problem and you will receive a reply to your message with a case number. A member of our courteous support staff will work on resolving your case and will send your answer back through messaging or by phone. This is the recommended method for contacting support.
Telephone – Feel free to call our support department during business hours so that we can assist you.
Email – Send us an email, and someone from our support department will immediately open a case, and then work quickly to close it! Since email is not secure, we strongly recommend not sending any Protected Health Information in the email.
