What buyers should weigh

Standard Practice
Voice AI that calls payers so staff do not
- Founded
- 2021
- HQ
- New York, NY
- Stage
- Seed
- Raised
- $8.5M
What it does
- Dials payers, navigates IVR menus, waits on hold
- Benefits and eligibility verification calls
- Prior authorization follow-up
- Claim status and follow-up calls
- Credentialing and EDI enrollment calls
- Responds to payer reps in real time
Where it's strong
- Narrow focus on outbound payer calls means depth in IVR navigation, hold handling, and live rep conversations.

What buyers should weigh

- Outbound payer calls only; patient-facing calls need another tool.
