Kareo and PatientPop’s Combined Platform Leveraged by the Perdido Bay Medical Group to Deliver Integrated Care and Grow Business

All-in-One Solution Boosts Operations and Digital Footprint for New Practice in Alabama

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kareo, a leading provider of cloud-based clinical and practice management software solutions for independent healthcare practices and billing companies, today announced that its client, the Perdido Bay Medical Group in Lillian, Alabama, has selected Kareo Clinical, Kareo Billing, and Kareo Telehealth to enhance operations and boost patient outcomes. The practice has also chosen PatientPop to improve its website’s search engine optimization (SEO), create awareness online for new business, and maintain its five-star review status. The Perdido Bay Medical Group opened in 2021 and provides care for patients in rural communities, many of whom are seniors.

Dr. Daniel Spriggs, a long-time Kareo user at his former practices, chose to continue using the integrated platform for his new practice the Perdido Bay Medical Group because of its functionality, familiarity, and ease of use. Dr. Spriggs was previously part of other medical groups, and so he needed to develop a new online identity when he opened his new practice. In the first 60 days following implementation, PatientPop’s solution improved the practice’s visibility online garnering over 1,500 new website visitors. Simultaneously, PatientPop helped solidify 70 new patient reviews with an average of 5 out of 5-star ratings. Improving the practice website’s SEO brought in over 500 organic website connections.

“Kareo’s platform has allowed me to create workflows that mimic how I work, making it easier for me to deliver care to my patients. It was still the best choice when it came to a solution for my new practice,” Dr. Spriggs said. “Even though I haven’t used PatientPop for very long, it has already improved my website performance greatly by making my brand presence more cohesive and is helping to bring in new patients. It's a tremendous benefit that Kareo and PatientPop have merged because I don’t have to rely on disparate systems which are often confusing, not as fiscal, and don’t deliver the best results.”

Kareo and PatientPop announced they merged in 2021 to form Tebra. The combined company’s mission is to equip independent practices with digital tools to deliver modernized care. The all-in-one solution can help providers support and attract new patients, get paid quickly, and operate more efficiently.

We will continue to enhance and simplify our solutions to drive practice transformation.”
