🤯 The problem

Improving behavioral health insurance claim coding accuracy is crucial as 85% of denied claims (worth $40 billion) are preventable. However, determining the eligible codes for patients is a challenge due to complex integrations within the healthcare IT ecosystem. These integrations are costly, time-consuming, and divert engineering resources, hindering product development. Delaying or skipping integrations leads to revenue loss and increased manual efforts for engineers and coding teams, creating a significant barrier for behavioral health companies in a rapidly growing industry, valued at $280 billion in 2020.
