The Problem

Why Independent Practices on Tebra Need AI

94%

Of physicians report prior authorization delays affect patient care, per AMA 2024 Prior Authorization Survey.

65%

Of US healthcare claim denials are never appealed due to staffing constraints — even though 82% of appealed denials get overturned (CAQH 2024).

11%

Average practice staff turnover for billing and front-desk roles in 2024, per MGMA — brutal in a 3-person front office.

38%

Implementation

Live in Four Weeks Alongside Tebra

Forward-deployed engineers configure Flexbone to your practice's specific Tebra workflows, specialty mix, payer panel, and PatientPop lead flow — without pulling your physician off the floor.

Use Cases

Built for Independent 1-10 Physician Practices

AI agents configured for the specialties where Tebra dominates — with call flows, PA logic, and denial workflows tuned to each. One Flexbone tenant scales across your whole practice, even if you still think of it as Kareo.

Solo Physician Practices

A one-provider practice shouldn't need three front-desk hires. AI handles scheduling, refills, and intake 24/7 — growing alongside PatientPop lead flow without adding headcount. Every call logs cleanly to Tebra.

2-10 Provider Group Practices

Multi-provider routing by physician, insurance, and appointment type. AI handles the call spikes your 3-5 person front office can't, and posts every interaction to the right provider's Tebra schedule.

Mental & Behavioral Health

High-volume intake from PatientPop web leads, behavioral health PA logic for medications and therapy units, crisis-call escalation rules, and superbill-to-Tebra-billing automation for out-of-network self-pay workflows.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Tebra is the cloud-based EHR, practice management, billing, and patient engagement platform formed in 2021 when Kareo and PatientPop merged (rebranded to Tebra in 2022). It is one of the most widely adopted systems for small-to-medium independent practices — solo physicians, 2-10 provider groups, mental health practices, women's health, pediatrics, and family medicine. Tebra combines the Kareo clinical and billing stack with PatientPop's practice growth and reputation tools on a single platform.

Yes. Flexbone deploys both voice agents and browser agents that work alongside Tebra. Voice agents handle inbound and outbound patient calls — appointment scheduling, reminders, new-patient intake, prescription refills, and result callbacks. Browser agents log into Tebra EHR and billing, plus your payer portals, to submit prior authorizations, verify eligibility, post charges, and write structured updates back into the Tebra encounter — the same way your front-desk and billing staff already work.

Yes. Kareo is now part of Tebra — all former Kareo Clinical, Kareo Billing, and Kareo Engage customers have been migrated to the unified Tebra platform. Flexbone deploys against the Tebra UI that your staff logs into today, whether your practice still refers to it as Kareo internally or has adopted the Tebra branding. Voice and browser agents operate identically on the Kareo-lineage modules inside Tebra.

Yes. Flexbone is HIPAA compliant with SOC 2 Type II controls, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, role-based access control, and complete audit trails for every AI action. Patient data never leaves your compliance boundary — a critical requirement for independent practices running Tebra without a dedicated IT team.

Four weeks from contract to first production calls. Week 1 is discovery — your specialty mix, appointment types, payer panel, PatientPop lead flow, and Tebra workflows. Week 2 is build and integration. Week 3 is supervised go-live. Week 4 is optimization with forward-deployed engineers tuning the system to your independent practice's specific call patterns and edge cases.

Yes. Flexbone's browser and voice agents handle the full prior authorization workflow for Tebra practices — medications (especially behavioral health and specialty drugs), imaging, procedures, and DME. Agents submit PA requests through payer portals, call payers when portals fail, track status, and post approvals back into the Tebra encounter. This eliminates the 13+ hours per week independent practice staff typically lose to prior authorization work.

New-patient intake calls (often routed from PatientPop web leads), appointment scheduling and rescheduling, no-show recovery and waitlist fill, insurance eligibility verification, prior authorization status, prescription refill requests, lab and imaging result callbacks, recall and reactivation outreach, and billing questions. All call recordings, transcripts, and outcomes are written back into the Tebra chart tied to the correct patient and encounter.
