Kareo (Tebra) API

Tebra's appointment scheduling is live on Integuru today. This page covers the broader Kareo/Tebra clinical and billing workflows — patient records, clinical notes, claims, and insurance — that go beyond scheduling. Chat with us to get started.

Overview

Kareo, now operating as Tebra after its 2022 merger with PatientPop, is a cloud-based clinical and practice management platform serving independent medical practices and specialty providers. The platform spans patient demographics, clinical documentation, appointment scheduling, medical billing, and revenue cycle management. Tebra's positioning as an independent practice operating system gives it a concentrated footprint in the small-to-mid-size practice market, and that footprint makes it a common integration target for healthtech companies building billing automation, clinical AI, and care coordination tools.

Integuru already covers Tebra's appointment scheduling layer in production. The live Tebra integration supports four actions: appointment booking, location lookup, provider listing, and available slot retrieval. That integration targets scheduling-specific use cases: AI booking assistants, patient self-scheduling portals, and multi-practice scheduling dashboards that need live appointment availability and booking write access. For teams that need the broader Tebra data model — patient records, clinical notes, insurance policies, billing claims, and document management — the scheduling integration is the starting point, not the destination.

Full clinical and billing access requires enrollment in Tebra's developer program, which is not self-serve. Integuru generates a production-ready HTTP API for the complete Kareo/Tebra workflow surface using direct HTTP requests against the same endpoints the Tebra web application uses internally. Patient records, clinical notes, claims, and insurance data are all reachable through Integuru's API without a developer program dependency. The Production plan's 24/7 on-call maintenance team handles session management and endpoint changes. Integuru can be deployed in HIPAA-compliant environments; discuss your compliance requirements when you chat with us.


Why Teams Need This Integration

The scheduling integration answers one question. The clinical and billing workflows answer several others, and they are the ones that drive the highest-value automation for independent practices.

Billing and revenue cycle platforms. Medical billing companies and RCM tools that support independent practices need structured access to claims data across the full patient and provider roster. list_claims and list_insurance_policies make this possible as a scheduled programmatic pull rather than a manual export from the Tebra billing module. For a billing platform that already supports other EHRs and wants to add Tebra, the developer program enrollment is the only blocker between the team and a working integration.

Clinical AI and documentation tools. AI scribe products, documentation automation tools, and clinical decision support platforms need to read existing note structures and write completed documentation back to the patient record. get_clinical_notes and upload_document support both directions: pulling the note structure for a patient encounter and pushing completed SOAP notes or supporting documentation back to the Tebra record without requiring the provider to touch the Tebra interface.

Care coordination and referral networks. Platforms managing care transitions, referral workflows, or care gap interventions for Tebra practices need current patient demographics and appointment data as a live feed rather than a batch export. list_patients, get_patient_detail, and list_appointments support these workflows directly. For a care network standardized on Tebra across multiple practices, programmatic patient data is the data layer the coordination platform needs to function.

Prior authorization and eligibility tools. list_insurance_policies surfaces the insurance policies on file for a patient with payer, policy number, group number, and coverage tier. Prior authorization platforms and eligibility verification tools need exactly this data before initiating a clinical workflow. Getting it programmatically rather than through a manual lookup or screen scrape is the difference between a product that scales and one that does not.


Healthcare Workflows This Integration Covers

The eleven planned actions cover the clinical and billing workflows that the live scheduling integration does not reach:

  • Patient management: list_patients and get_patient_detail surface the practice's patient roster with full demographic and insurance coverage data. create_patient supports intake automation and external registration flows that need to write new patient records into Tebra.
  • Appointment scheduling (extended): list_appointments and get_appointment_detail return the full appointment record, including provider, location, reason for visit, and billing status, beyond the availability and booking fields the live integration covers. create_appointment adds write access to the Tebra calendar from external tools.
  • Clinical documentation: get_clinical_notes retrieves SOAP note content, diagnosis codes, and provider sign-off status for a patient encounter. upload_document pushes completed clinical and administrative documents back to the patient record.
  • Billing and claims: list_claims returns structured claims data with CPT codes, payer information, reimbursement amounts, and claim status for RCM and billing analytics tools.
  • Insurance data: list_insurance_policies surfaces insurance policies on file for a patient for use by prior authorization, eligibility, and care coordination platforms.

Adjacent Integrations

The live Tebra scheduling integration is the starting point for this vertical on Integuru. The Tebra integration provides four production-ready actions for appointment booking, location lookup, provider listing, and slot retrieval. The DrChrono integration covers 4 live actions across patient creation, patient listing, medication records, and allergy data. The eClinicalWorks integration provides 5 live actions spanning patient demographics, insurance data, document management, and patient creation. The Modmed integration is the most comprehensive EHR integration on Integuru today, with 21 live actions across claims, payments, insurance policies, and patient management. The NextGen integration delivers 10 live actions across patients, appointments, locations, and calendar resources.

What Kareo (Tebra) currently offers publicly

Limited official API

Tebra (formerly Kareo) exposes appointment scheduling through its web application, and Integuru already supports this in production with four live actions. Full clinical and billing access — patient records, clinical notes, claims, insurance policies, and administrative documents — requires partner enrollment in Tebra's developer program. The developer program is not self-serve, and the partner tier covers a narrower set of workflows than what the Tebra web application makes available to authenticated users.

Actions Integuru could expose

list_patients

Return a paginated list of patient records with demographics, contact information, and insurance coverage status

get_patient_detail

Retrieve the complete record for a single patient including contact details, insurance policies, and encounter history

create_patient

Create a new patient record with demographic, contact, and primary insurance information

list_appointments

List scheduled appointments filtered by provider, date range, and appointment status across the full practice

get_appointment_detail

Retrieve the full record for a single appointment including provider, room, reason for visit, and billing status

create_appointment
