Surgery Coordination Technology Receives Investment From Nueterra Capital
Santa Monica, CA – April 16, 2018 – Casetabs, the pioneer of cloud-based surgery coordination technology, today announced it has received $6M in Series A financing to scale its surgery coordination application. The funding will be used to expand market awareness and increase product value through new electronic medical record (EMR) integrations and deeper patient engagement. The company will also look to expand its presence within the hospital market.
The Series A was led by Nueterra Capital, a leading healthcare VC firm specializing in technology and services that improve the delivery of surgical care, and Evolution Financial Group, a global investment firm with deep roots in technological interconnectivity.
According to Casetabs Founder and CEO, Gavin Fabian, Casetabs was created to solve a very real communication problem that many on the company’s leadership team had direct experience with. Fabian notes, “Together with our team and customers, we have built a proven solution that breaks down traditional communication barriers between surgery centers, physician offices, hospitals, anesthesiologist groups and medical vendors. With Nueterra Capital’s investment and strategic value, we will greatly expand our reach as we work to completely eradicate surgery communication issues.”
Launched in 2016, Casetabs’ award-winning surgery coordination application is changing how surgeries are coordinated by ensuring everyone involved in a case is continuously and instantly on the same page. In just two years, Casetabs has grown exponentially from five centers to 100 centers and 500 physician practices, almost entirely through referrals.
“We invested in Casetabs because we have confidence in the team and believe their product can transform the way surgical care is coordinated. Today, healthcare providers operate in silos, using a confounding variety of systems that don’t talk to each other, which ultimately leaves physicians and patients frustrated and burdened with unnecessary costs. Casetabs has an opportunity to be the central hub,” said Jeremy Tasset, CEO, Nueterra Capital.

Charles Kano, COO, Healthcare Re (801) 657-1068
Salt Lake City. (July 12, 2016)—Healthcare Re is proud to announce the official launch of their specialized reinsurance business, which invites independent providers to resume control of their medical risk by offering tailored insurance packages and products. In partnership with national and international reinsurance experts, the leaders of Healthcare Re provide targeted analyses of the cost and scope of provider risk and leverage that data to build a custom solution.
“The uncertainty of medical risk and the potential of financial failure if those risks aren’t appropriately covered is something that can really hold providers back and, in some cases, causes them to relinquish a degree of authority,” said Charles Kano, Chief Operations Officer, Healthcare Re. “We want providers to have complete freedom in the delivery of quality patient care—giving them the resources and tools to manage their own risk and enhance their market position is one way we can do that.”
According to Kano, the key to initially regaining control of medical risk is targeted risk assessment. Healthcare Re utilizes a multifaceted approach to determine a provider’s risk, evaluating claims history, market competition, patient demographics and more; this data then provides the necessary insight for developing a custom reinsurance package from Healthcare Re’s available products.
Ultimately, Healthcare Re will offer a broad variety of insurance products, including worker’s comp, property and casualty, directors and officers, professional liability and general liability; while select products are currently available, others are under review and should be available by the end of 2016.
In addition to making their suite of insurance products available to individual providers, Healthcare Re will be the first insurance company to make its products and services available to an integrated provider network (IPN). Working alongside Nueterra Capital, Healthcare Re’s private equity owner, and NueHealth, a sister company that gives healthcare consumers, chiefly patients and employers, direct access to targeted, transparent and affordable care, Healthcare Re will work with IPN leaders to deploy comprehensive insurance products, including warranty programs for bundled payment programs.
“When providers accept certain risks, they’re essentially regaining control of their destiny and that, by extension, lets them focus on delivering quality patient care,” said Dan Saale, CEO, Healthcare Re. “Our ultimate goal is to elevate the healthcare experience for patients, improving both cost and accessibility while creating an overall more efficient delivery model. Our custom reinsurance solutions are an important part of fully realizing that plan.”
