Notable
AI agents across intake, auth, and revenue workflows
- Founded
- 2017
- HQ
- San Mateo, CA
- Stage
- Series B
- Raised
- $119M
What it does
- AI agents automate registration, intake, and scheduling workflows
- Handles referrals, prior authorizations, and care gap outreach
- HCC chart review for risk adjustment programs
- Flow Builder lets teams build automations low-code
- Voice AI agent handles patient calls
- Agents click into EHR fields and update records directly
Where it's strong
- Broadest workflow coverage in this group, spanning patient access, revenue cycle, and care operations on one platform, so it can consolidate point vendors.
- Proven at enterprise scale: 12,000+ sites of care, 1.5M tasks automated daily, and named systems like Intermountain, CommonSpirit, and Inova.
- Flow Builder and Sidekick let your own ops teams extend automations without waiting on the vendor.
What buyers should weigh
- A platform sale, not a point solution: expect a bigger implementation, higher price, and deeper IT commitment than single-workflow vendors.
- Doing many workflows means depth in any one (e.g., prior auth) may trail specialists; benchmark your highest-value workflow head-to-head.
- Last disclosed raise was the 2021 Series B, so ask directly about capitalization and profitability.
