Tether is the intelligent referral network powered by AI agents that pull from your EHR, coordinate with specialists, and close the loop automatically. Your staff talks to Tether like a colleague — the agents handle the rest.
Georgetown Family Medicine sending a referral via Tether
Most referrals are still sent by fax. There is no confirmation, no tracking, and no follow-up. Patients fall through the cracks, specialists lose billable visits, and PCPs never know if their patient received care.
Designed for medical assistants and front desk staff who manage referrals every day. Not physicians who review dashboards once a week.
One dashboard, two views. PCPs track outbound referrals, visit summaries, and loop closure. Specialists manage inbound referrals, assign providers, and update statuses. Both sides see the full picture in real time.
Search 1,200+ providers across 338 clinics in the DMV by specialty, insurance, distance, and availability. Find the right provider and start a referral in one click.
Pull patient demographics, conditions, medications, allergies, and insurance directly from your EHR. When specialists send visit summaries, Tether pushes them back to the PCP's chart automatically. Tether's AI agents use all of this data to answer questions, flag issues, and execute follow-ups. Direct integrations with multiple EHR systems, with more being added continuously.
Ask Tether is an AI assistant built into every page. It knows every referral, every specialist's requirements, and every patient's history. Ask it anything. Tell it to do anything.
Your MA asks about a patient's insurance, a specialist's requirements, or which referrals are overdue. Tether answers in seconds with real data — not generic advice.
Request visit summaries, notify patients, mark referrals as seen, find specialists — all from one conversation. No clicking through menus.
Every specialist that configures requirements, every referral that flows through, every information request teaches the agents. After 1,000 referrals, Tether knows your referral patterns better than any coordinator could.
