Medsender ranks No. 621 on 2026 Inc. 5000 as healthcare AI adoption grows. August 19, 2026 Medsender has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, ranking No. 621 among America's fastest-growing private companies as the New York-based healthcare technology company expands its AI automation platform for independent medical practices. The recognition marks Medsender's second consecutive appearance on the Inc. 5000 following its debut in 2025. Founded in 2015, the company now serves more than 1,000 medical practices across all 50 states and integrates with more than 20 major electronic health record systems. Medsender is focused on a segment of healthcare operations that has remained heavily dependent on manual administrative work. Its platform uses AI agents to automate front-office functions including fax processing, referral management, inbound calls and outreach to patients who have stopped engaging with a practice. The company's growth reflects increasing demand among independent practices for technology that can reduce administrative workloads without requiring additional staffing. Unlike larger health systems, smaller provider organizations often have fewer resources to absorb rising labor and administrative costs, creating a market for automation that can operate within existing clinical workflows. "Independent practices are buried in manual work before a patient ever walks through the door: reading faxes, processing referrals, answering calls, and following up," said Salman Haque, co-CEO of Medsender. "We are building Medsender so that work happens reliably in the background, freeing staff to focus on patients and the exceptions that require human judgment." Medsender's approach centers on consolidating functions that practices might otherwise manage through separate software products or manual processes. Its AI agents can move a referral from initial receipt through scheduling, while incoming faxes can be read, indexed and routed automatically. The platform also handles inbound calls around the clock and supports patient reactivation through automated outreach and self-scheduling. The company said its recent expansion has been driven by a broader footprint across EHR systems, improvements to its referral management capabilities and expansion into patient reactivation. That strategy places Medsender within a growing category of healthcare AI companies attempting to automate operational workflows rather than simply provide standalone productivity tools. For independent practices, the commercial case for such systems is closely tied to whether automation can reduce repetitive administrative work while fitting into the technology already used to manage patient care. EHR integration is particularly important to that positioning. Healthcare providers frequently operate across established clinical and administrative systems, meaning new automation products often need to work with existing infrastructure rather than require practices to replace it. Medsender's integrations with more than 20 EHR systems broaden the number of practices capable of incorporating its platform into current workflows. The company's national reach also suggests that its model is moving beyond early adoption. Serving more than 1,000 practices in every state gives Medsender a larger operating base as it seeks to automate a wider range of front-office tasks. "A second year on the Inc. 5000 tells us our approach works at scale," said Zain Qayyum, co-founder and co-CEO of Medsender. "Growth like this only happens when practices keep seeing results." The Inc. 5000 ranks privately held U.S. companies based on revenue growth and is published annually by Inc. The 2026 ranking gives Medsender another benchmark for its expansion as healthcare organizations increasingly evaluate AI for administrative applications alongside clinical use cases. For Medsender, the opportunity is centered on independent practices that face many of the same administrative pressures as larger healthcare organizations but have less ability to address those pressures through additional hiring. Automating referrals, communications and patient outreach can potentially shift staff time toward work requiring direct interaction or human judgment. That distinction is becoming increasingly important as healthcare AI moves deeper into day-to-day operations. Rather than positioning AI solely as a replacement for individual tasks, Medsender is building around coordinated workflows in which software handles routine processes and employees intervene when exceptions arise. Its No. 621 ranking on the 2026 Inc. 5000 provides another indication of the demand developing around that model. As healthcare providers look for ways to control administrative costs and manage staffing constraints, Medsender is positioning front-office automation as infrastructure for the independent practice rather than another isolated software tool.

Medsender named to Inc.'s 2026 list of america's fastest-growing private companies. Aug 19, 2026, 10:00 ET Medsender ranks No. 621 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, marking the company's second consecutive year on the list. NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Medsender(R), the platform purpose-built to automate manual front office work for independent practices, announced its inclusion on the 2026 Inc. 5000. Medsender ranked No. 621, following its 2025 debut. Featured on Inc.com, the Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing companies. It offers a data-driven look at the most dynamic and independent businesses shaping the U.S. economy. Founded in 2015 and based in New York, Medsender serves a large, long-overlooked market: independent medical practices that run their front office on manual processes. Its AI agents handle the work behind faxes, referrals, calls, and lapsed patient outreach, with staff stepping in only for exceptions. Medsender integrates with more than 20 of the top electronic health record systems. "Independent practices are buried in manual work before a patient ever walks through the door: reading faxes, processing referrals, answering calls, and following up. We are building Medsender so that work happens reliably in the background, freeing staff to focus on patients and the exceptions that require human judgment." Salman Haque, Co-CEO of Medsender The trajectory reflects sustained compounding rather than a single strong year. Medsender now serves more than 1,000 practices, in all fifty states. Growth has been driven by a widening footprint across EHR systems, enhancements to referral management, and expansion into patient reactivation. Underlying all of it is the urgency around rapidly rising administrative costs in practices that cannot solve the problem by hiring. "A second year on the Inc. 5000 tells us our approach works at scale. Growth like this only happens when practices keep seeing results. We only grow fast when our practices grow fast."

Medsender, a fax and referral management software company, has launched an integration with athenaOne, athenahealth's EHR platform, to automate referral processing for specialty medical practices. The integration addresses a significant operational gap, as only half of all referral requests are completed and 52% of faxes require manual processing. Medsender's AI automatically reads, categorises and routes incoming faxes whilst separating referrals into a dedicated coordinator workflow that syncs directly with athenaOne. Practices using the software report up to 80% reduction in manual front-office processing, 85% faster referral processing, and two to three times more referred patients converted to scheduled appointments. The integration is now available to practices across the athenaOne network, one of the largest ambulatory EHR networks in the United States.
