Overview
We are a leading provider of comprehensive solutions that transform the healthcare experience by engaging patients in their care and enabling healthcare provider organizations to optimize operational efficiency, improve profitability and enhance clinical care. As evidenced in industry survey reports from KLAS, a healthcare information technology and insights company, we have been recognized as a leader based on our integration capabilities with healthcare provider organizations, the broad adoption of our patient intake functionalities and by overall client satisfaction. Through the SaaS-based Phreesia Platform, we offer our provider clients a robust suite of solutions to manage the patient intake process and an integrated payments solution for secure processing of patient payments. Our Platform also provides life sciences companies with an engagement channel for targeted and direct communication with patients. In the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, our Platform processed $463.0 million and $358.0 million in patient payments, respectively, which represents a $105.0 million, or 29% increase in patient payments processed through our Platform. Additionally, in the nine months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, our Platform processed $1,388.2 million and $1,076.3 million in patient payments, respectively, which represents a $311.9 million, or 29% increase in patient payments processed through our Platform.
We serve an array of healthcare provider organizations of all sizes ranging from single-specialty practices, which include internal and family medicine, urology, dermatology and orthopedics, to large, multi-specialty groups. Our life sciences business additionally serves clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries.
We derive revenue from (i) subscription fees from healthcare provider organizations for access to the Phreesia Platform and related professional services fees and other services, (ii) payment processing fees based on levels of patient payment volume processed through the Phreesia Platform, and (iii) fees from life science companies to deliver patient engagement content to patients using the Phreesia Platform. We have strong visibility into our business as the majority of our revenue is derived from recurring subscription fees andre-occurring payment processing fees.
We market and sell our products and services to provider clients throughout the United States using a direct sales organization divided into several highly targeted and coordinated teams, which are concentrated in Raleigh, North Carolina, New York, New York and Ottawa, Canada. Our demand generation team develops content and identifies prospects that our sales development team researches and qualifies to generate high-grade, actionable sales programs. Our direct sales force executes on these qualified sales programs, partnering with client services to ensure prospects are educated on the breadth of our capabilities and demonstrable value proposition, with the goal of attracting and retaining clients and expanding their use of our Platform over time. Most of our Platform solutions are contracted pursuant to annual, auto-renewing agreements. Our sales typically involve competitive processes and sales cycles have, on average, varied in duration from two months to eight months, depending on the size of the potential client. In addition, through Phreesia University (Phreesia’sin-house training program), events, client conferences and webinars, we help our provider clients optimize their businesses and, as a result, support client retention.
Since our inception, we have not marketed or sold our products internationally. Accordingly, all of our revenue from historical periods has come from the United States, and our current strategy is to continue to focus our sales efforts solely within the United States.
Our revenue growth has been entirely organic and reflects our addition of new provider clients and increased revenue from existing clients. Our total revenue increased $8.1 million to $32.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2019 from $24.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2018, representing an increase of approximately 33%.
