Bottom line

  • Pick pVerify if you want to embed accurate, specialty-aware eligibility checks into your own software or intake workflow through an API rather than buy a full RCM platform.
  • Pick Tennr if fax-heavy referral intake is your bottleneck and you want it automated without touching your EHR.

pVerify

REST APIs for real-time eligibility and benefits verification

Founded

HQ
Tustin, CA
Stage
Acquired by DoseSpot (2023)
Raised
n/a

What it does

  • Real-time eligibility checks across 1,500+ payers
  • Specialty-specific benefits parsing (vision, DME, therapy)
  • Insurance discovery for unknown or inactive coverage
  • Patient estimation and Medicare-specific checks (MBI lookup)
  • Claim status and prior authorization support APIs
  • Batch eligibility for appointment-day sweeps

Where it's strong

  • Developer-first: well-documented APIs make it quick to embed eligibility into your own product.
  • Specialty benefit parsing goes deeper than raw 270/271 responses from clearinghouses.
  • Now part of PSG-backed DoseSpot, which adds financial stability and a bigger product family.

What buyers should weigh

  • It solves front-end verification only; you still need separate tools for claims and denials.
  • Named enterprise customer references are thin in public materials.
  • Ongoing DoseSpot and Arrive Health consolidation (Interra Health) could shift roadmap priorities.

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.
