The Phreesia Story

Phreesia is the leader in patient check-in, with a network of thousands of clinicians nationwide. Started as the brain child of Chaim Indig and Evan Roberts in a 400-square-foot apartment in 2005, the company is headquartered in New York with operational support across the United States and in Ontario, Canada.

Acknowledging the changing environment of the healthcare industry and the mounting requirements for patient documentation, Chaim and Evan set out to simplify one of healthcare's most essential functions – the gathering of patient information. They saw an opportunity to save medical organizations time and money while enhancing the patient-doctor conversation. Leveraging their experience in the healthcare and software industries, they decided to revolutionize the traditional patient check-in process by eliminating the paper clipboard and automating patient intake. Chaim sketched the first touchscreen prototype on a napkin, and Phreesia was born. Chaim and Evan left the analytics firm where they were employed, moved from Boston to New York City, and successfully transitioned from co-workers to co-founders.

Phreesia replaces the paper clipboard, giving practices real-time automated insurance verification, and asking patients to pay their copays and balances. In order to consistently develop and improve its service, Phreesia has ongoing relationships with prestigious medical and educational institutions, and receives continuous feedback from its rapidly growing network of medical practices.

Today, enhanced by the insight of its esteemed Medical Advisory Board and the wealth of knowledge from its Board of Directors, Phreesia enables clinicians to stay at the forefront of patient care and continues to attract energetic, top talent worldwide.
