PicassoMD connects primary care providers and specialists for real-time clinical decision support, referrals, and care coordination.
We are proud to bring specialist access to patients and providers in underserved, underinsured populations.
We connect PCPs to specialists across 30 disciplines in under 30 seconds. If a referral is necessary, PicassoMD helps get the patient to high-quality, low-cost local specialist and provides transparency and visibility throughout the referral process.
The result is a reduction in unnecessary medical costs, a smoother transition of care, and better patient experience and outcomes.
PicassoMD was founded by physicians and entrepreneurs with a track record of building successful companies and backed by top-tier investors including Greycroft, Blue Venture Fund, Operator Partners, humbition, and Metrodora Ventures.

Honestly, it brought me to tears! In all my 30 years of nursing, I have never seen something work so smoothly between a PCP and specialty medicine. It saved my patient from seeing a cardiologist. She was thrilled! This is how healthcare should be–working together for the best of the patient.
