As physician practices strive to modernize their technology and become more consumer-centric, their efforts are often complicated by a plethora of vendors selling point solutions.
A startup wants to change that.
“Many of them use four or five different products in their practice and don’t have in-house IT – it’s hard to piece together a solution that way,” said Dan Rodrigues, co-founder and CEO darka company founded last year to solve the problem.
Tabla is established In November, due to the merger of the two parties patient popa provider of healthcare marketing and practice management software, and care, which sells cloud-based clinical and financial software. On Thursday, the company had dual headquarters in Newport Beach and Santa Monica, Announce It has raised over $72 million in funding and has a valuation of over $1 billion. Golub Capital led the investment, which includes growth equity and debt financing.
go through Combining technologies from PatientPop and Kareo, Tegra is creating a single platform that Rodrigues hopes doctors can rely on to modernize and develop their practice.
“The name Tebra is derived from the ‘vertebra,’ symbolizing our role as the technical backbone of practical success,” he said. “Just as individual vertebrae come together to support the human body, our complete operating system supports practices, providers and patients alike.”
The company’s platform features a suite of practice management solutions covering four areas: practice growth, patient experience, billing and care delivery.
Tebra’s hands-on growth techniques provide tools for search engine optimization, digital advertising communications, website design, and reputation management. Its patient experience software simplifies patient communication, from scheduling to appointment reminders to payment. Medical billing solutions allow practices to register, submit, track and reconcile claims in one place.
On the clinical side, Tebra’s EHR solutions are designed to reduce documentation so clinicians have more time to serve their patients. It has tools for clinical charting, automated patient documentation, electronic prescriptions, and telehealth appointment hosting.
Tebra sells its software to independent institutions of any size. Rodrigues said the company’s platform is used by more than 100,000 providers serving 90 million patients.
Although he recognized next generation healthcare, Athena Health, ZocDoc and podium A competitor to Kareo or PatientPop, Roridgues says he doesn’t feel the same after the merger. He touted Tebra as the first company to serve as a “complete operating system for practice” and argued that no other company could solve the problem of fragmented medical software providers like he did. Tebra declined to disclose details of its annual revenue and profitability.
The company, which currently employs more than 1,000 people, will use its new capital to expand its sales and marketing teams. This will help expand Tebra’s market share and strengthen its new brand, Rodrigues said.
As the company continues to grow, he said he sees some functional opportunities that Tebra could add to its platform in the future.
For example, the company is getting into credit card processing. Since more and more doctors’ income comes from credit cards, he said it makes sense to integrate this processing into Tebra’s platform. The company is also looking for opportunities to build an online network that connects patients with suitable telehealth or in-person care providers.
