Fixing Healthcare’s Referral Black Hole w/ Trey Holterman, Co-Founder & CEO, Tennr

Every day in healthcare, a referral goes out, and a patient disappears. Into the fax. Into the queue. Into someone's pile. The specialist never calls back. The primary care doctor never hears what happened. And the patient is left in limbo wondering if they’ve been forgotten. Trey Holterman, Co-Founder and CEO of Tennr, watched his mother, a physician's assistant, live with this for years. So, he built a company and even a proprietary AI model to fix it. Trey joins host Brian Chee to discuss why the referral black hole has persisted despite decades of health tech investment, and how Tennr built a proprietary AI model trained on the unstructured healthcare documents at the root of the problem to fix it at scale. ---- 🎙 ABOUT TREY HOLTERMAN: Trey Holterman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Tennr, the referral automation platform that helps healthcare operators capture more referrals, cut denials, and deliver faster care without scaling their teams. By deploying the first-ever language models built to reason through healthcare criteria, Tennr ensures no patient gets lost in the referral handoff process. A Stanford CS alum and one of Forbes ‘Top Founders in AI’, Trey has led the company through +230% revenue growth year-to-date, and raised $162 million in 1.5 years from a16z, IVP, Lightspeed and GV. 🎙 ABOUT HUMANIFAI HEALTHTECH: HumanifAI HealthTech is a bi-weekly podcast exploring how AI is rewriting the rules of healthcare and putting people back at the center where they belong.
