PatientPop

Was a leading practice growth platform for independent healthcare providers in the U.S. SMB market before merging with Kareo to form Tebra in 2021

PatientPop was a Santa Monica-based healthcare technology company founded in 2014 that built a comprehensive practice growth platform designed specifically for independent healthcare providers. The platform combined digital marketing automation, online presence management, patient engagement tools, and reputation management into a single integrated solution, enabling medical, dental, and other healthcare practices to attract new patients and retain existing ones without requiring deep marketing expertise. PatientPop served tens of thousands of healthcare providers across the United States and became one of the leading purpose-built growth platforms in the healthcare SMB space. The company differentiated itself by addressing the full patient acquisition and retention lifecycle — from search engine optimization and website management to online appointment booking, automated patient satisfaction surveys, and review generation. This end-to-end approach allowed independent practices to compete more effectively with larger health systems that had dedicated marketing resources. PatientPop raised significant venture funding and grew rapidly, establishing itself as a recognized leader in healthcare practice marketing technology. In 2021, PatientPop merged with Kareo, a cloud-based clinical and financial platform for independent practices, to form Tebra — a combined entity designed to offer an all-in-one operating system for independent healthcare providers. The merger brought together PatientPop's patient acquisition and engagement capabilities with Kareo's practice management, billing, and EHR tools. Following the merger, the PatientPop brand was folded into Tebra, and the platform's capabilities continue to be offered as part of Tebra's broader product suite.
