Where it's strong

What buyers should weigh

What buyers should weigh
- If you are a practice rather than a billing company, you will usually access it through a partner, which adds a layer to the relationship.
- Its September 2025 $20M raise was structured as other equity rather than a priced Series C, worth understanding in diligence.
- Channel focus means the patient experience can vary with how well your billing company configures it.
