Phreesia
Public company powering patient intake and payments
Our take
Phreesia is the biggest name in patient intake. Its platform handles registration, consents, eligibility verification, copay collection, scheduling, and patient surveys across ambulatory practices and health systems, with bidirectional integrations into Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, NextGen, and dozens of other EHRs. Founded in 2005 and public since 2019, it enabled more than 180 million patient visits in 2025, roughly one in six US visits.
As a buyer you are getting the category incumbent: mature product, deep integration library, and a company that reached GAAP profitability in fiscal 2026 on $480.6M of revenue. The November 2025 acquisition of AccessOne pushes it further into patient payment plans and financing. The tradeoffs are the ones that come with incumbency: enterprise pricing, a broad platform that can feel heavy for small groups, and a pharma-funded patient engagement arm that some compliance teams scrutinize before signing.
What it does
- Digital patient intake, registration, and consent management
- Insurance eligibility verification and card capture
- Patient payments, payment plans, and receivables financing (AccessOne)
- Automated appointment scheduling, reminders, and waitlist fill
- Patient surveys, screenings, and post-visit engagement
- Handles roughly 1 in 6 US patient visits
Where it's strong
- Massive proven scale: over 180 million patient visits enabled in 2025 and deep bidirectional integrations with every major EHR.
- Now GAAP profitable ($480.6M revenue, $2.3M net income in fiscal 2026), so vendor viability risk is low.
- The AccessOne acquisition adds patient payment plans and financing, making it a fuller patient-payments platform.
What buyers should weigh
- Part of its business model is pharma-sponsored patient messaging, which some organizations find uncomfortable in an intake tool.
- Pricing runs higher than point solutions, and smaller practices may pay for breadth they will not use.
- It covers intake, access, and payments but is not a denials or back-end RCM solution.
