Since the merger, Tebra has developed and launched a two-way product integration that allows both platforms to share scheduling information and physician availability, while also reviewing appointment information.

The new capital brings Tebra’s total funds raised to $137 million as the company moves to accelerate its merger plan, grow its market share, and launch a combined product line with new branding.

“With this new investment from Golub Capital, we’ll be able to accelerate Tebra’s mission to unlock better healthcare by helping independent practices bring modernized care to patients everywhere,” Tebra Co-founder and CEO Dan Rodrigues said in the announcement.
