What PhysAssist Scribes does

PhysAssist Scribes, operating commercially through its ScribeAmerica brand, is a US-based provider of medical scribe services and AI-enabled clinical documentation solutions. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, the company has trained and deployed over 100,000 medical scribes and supported more than 30 million point-of-care clinical encounters across all 50 US states and Canada (via its wholly-owned subsidiary ScribeCanada). Its service portfolio spans traditional in-person scribes, virtual telescribes, allied health medical assistant staffing (via enablihealth.com), veterinary scribe services, and ambient AI documentation through the Speke AI platform. Founder John Geesbreght established the company, which operates as a privately held for-profit entity in the 1,001-5,000 employee range.

The Speke AI platform, developed through a strategic partnership with Speke AI, provides ambient clinical documentation by capturing audio of patient encounters and automatically generating clinical notes using generative AI. Available on iOS, Android, and desktop, the platform supports 30+ languages, integrates with major EHR systems, and offers tiered products including Speke Pro (customized specialty documentation) and Speke Express (entry-level for high-volume settings such as emergency departments). The hybrid model pairs trained scribes with the AI platform for quality assurance and is marketed as the only ambient AI solution backed by trained scribes. The company received KLAS Spotlight recognition for Speke, validating third-party analyst credibility.

The company generates revenue through managed services contracts with healthcare organizations, with pricing structured as recurring service fees based on provider count or encounter volume. The go-to-market motion is consultative enterprise sales targeting health systems, hospitals, emergency departments, ambulatory practices, urgent care centers, medical specialties (cardiology, oncology, gastroenterology, OB/GYN, family practice, internal medicine), and veterinary medicine. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based on organization size, specialty, and service tier. Documented customer outcomes include 2.5 hours saved daily per user with Speke AI and 66% faster documentation with tech-enabled virtual scribes. Marketing is conducted through content marketing, SEO, email nurture, social media across multiple platforms, industry events (including ACEP), PR, and community programs (ScribeCorner, Alumni Hub).
