Practice management software company Tebra secured more than $72 million in equity and debt financing from Golub Capital, boosting its valuation to over $1 billion.
WHAT IT DOES
Tebra is the result of a recent merger between Kareo, which offers clinical and financial software, and PatientPop, which provides tools for patient engagement and practice growth. The deal closed in November.
The combined company includes products for building a medical practice’s website and advertising its services, online scheduling and patient reminders, telehealth, an EHR, billing, and payment, as well as data analytics.
Tebra will use the capital to accelerate its post-merger plans, like growing market share, developing and launching products as a combined company, and branding the new entity.

“Simultaneously, we will broaden our market reach and launch new solutions, helping an even larger number of physicians with digital tools and support to attract new patients, get paid quicker, and operate their practice more efficiently.”
