STAT+: Commure terminates payments under its customer referral programs tied to AI products
Commure, which develops and sells AI products to clinics, has terminated a program that paid for referrals to new customers.
Commure, a health software company valued at $7 billion, has opted to discontinue a program that rewarded individuals for referring new customers to their artificial intelligence offerings, as revealed in internal company communications obtained by STAT. The termination notice, issued by the firm's Chief Legal Officer Dan Brian, informs program participants that their payment obligations will cease within a 30-day window from the date of receipt.
One such notice, dated August 6, assures that any outstanding payments owed under the agreement will be settled immediately. The decision to cease the program emerged in the wake of a STAT investigation, published six days prior, which revealed that Commure was offering substantial monetary incentives ranging from thousands of dollars to entice customers and associates to refer its AI solutions to potential clients. STAT initiated its inquiry concerning these referral schemes via email to Brian on June 5.
