Where it's strong

What buyers should weigh

Tennr
AI that reads faxed referrals and moves them to booked visits
- Founded
- 2021
- HQ
- New York, NY
- Stage
- Series C
- Raised
- $160M+
What it does
- Reads faxed referrals and extracts structured patient data
- Proprietary RaeLM models trained on 100M healthcare documents
- Qualifies patients against payer documentation criteria automatically
- Runs eligibility and benefits checks on incoming referrals
- Routes orders and populates downstream intake systems
- Tennr Network gives referrers and patients live referral status
Where it's strong
- Best-in-class at the ugly problem of fax and document-based referral intake, processing 10 million documents a month.
- Purpose-built models check documentation against payer criteria upfront, which cuts denials rather than just speeding data entry.
- Heavy funding ($101M Series C at a $605M valuation) and tripling revenue suggest it will keep shipping fast.
What buyers should weigh
- Strongest in referral-driven businesses like HME/DME, imaging, labs, and infusion; less relevant if referrals are not your bottleneck.
- Still a young company scaling quickly, so implementation attention may vary as the customer base grows.
- Pricing is volume-based on document throughput, which buyers should model carefully against current intake costs.
- Plan for a 2-3 month implementation and roughly a year to full ROI.
