Tebra was created in November 2021 when Kareo and PatientPop merged in California. Dan Rodrigues founded Kareo in 2004 to simplify medical billing for busy doctors, growing it into a cloud-based system that processed $25 billion in claims by 2019. Meanwhile, Luke Kervin and Travis Schneider started PatientPop in 2014 to help practices attract patients and manage care online. Now based in Newport Beach with offices in Santa Monica and Costa Rica, Tebra supports over 100,000 providers serving millions of patients, backed by a team of more than 1,000.
Leadership
Dan Rodrigues, CEO and co-founder, leads with a hands-on approach focused on real provider needs. He built Kareo from the ground up by listening to doctors’ challenges like slow payments and messy records, and now guides Tebra toward simple, unified solutions. His team, including CTO Kyle Ryan and CFO Mike Doktorczyk, encourages collaboration that values quick results and customer feedback. This practical leadership keeps innovation grounded and ensures tools evolve with daily practice demands.
Tebra profile became a unicorn in 2022 after mergers and funding rounds, including a $72 million Series B led by Golub Capital, following a $65 million Series A. It was named a top workplace by the Orange County Register in 2022 and recognized as a leading healthcare tech company by the Healthcare Technology Report in 2023. Its all-in-one platform, which includes EHR, telehealth, marketing, and analytics, has helped independent practices run more smoothly, cutting admin time and boosting revenue. After 2023, Tebra introduced “The Intake,” a daily resource for practice owners, strengthening its role as a trusted partner.
Experience
Building on Kareo’s 17+ years of billing experience and PatientPop’s patient engagement tools, Tebra uses proven, practical know-how. It automates routine tasks like insurance checks and appointment reminders, freeing staff to focus on patients. Providers say they get paid faster and grow more easily because the platform brings together everything from scheduling to reputation management without a steep learning curve. This real-world focus has made expanding a small clinic much less overwhelming.

By focusing on ease of use, Tebra has made healthcare operations more efficient for thousands, showing that small changes can make a big difference.
Personal Values
The founders have a warm, provider-first approach; they began as problem-solvers for fellow doctors, not distant tech experts. Dan Rodrigues focuses on creating tools that feel intuitive, like a helpful assistant in the exam room. This friendly attitude shows in their customer success teams and open feedback channels, building a true partnership. Employees describe a passionate, supportive culture that reflects the care Tebra offers patients.
Looking ahead, Tebra plans to grow its platform with smarter AI insights and stronger integrations to meet new needs like telehealth expansion. They aim to support more specialties and improve data tools to predict practice trends. With new funding, the company will expand its sales and teams to reach even more independent providers across the country. Ultimately, Tebra envisions a future where every small practice thrives easily, delivering excellent care without burnout.
