At AKASA™ they believe every dollar spent on healthcare matters because healthcare matters to everyone. They’re on a mission to remedy the financial and operational complexity crippling healthcare in America.

The only Unified Automation™ company for healthcare, AKASA™ uses the same machine learning approaches that made driverless cars possible to provide health systems with a single solution for automating revenue cycle operations. AKASA™’s unique expert-in-the-loop approach combines modern machine-learning with human judgment and subject matter expertise to provide robust and resilient automation. Unified Automation™ adapts to the highly dynamic nature of revenue cycle operations and has been purpose-built for healthcare. AKASA™ enables health systems to decrease their cost to collect so they can invest more inpatient care and be better stewards of the healthcare dollar.

Their founding team includes Silicon Valley leaders who have founded or been founding team members of multiple companies with successful exits, some in excess of $350 million. They convened a team uniquely qualified to bring modern solutions and some of the most advanced technologies to healthcare revenue cycle management.

They’ve built a cross-functional skillset deep into the DNA of the company. They have technology experts from the top Silicon Valley technology companies, many with graduate degrees in machine learning. They also have senior leaders from the frontlines of healthcare with decades of experience leading teams of medical billers at some of the most prominent healthcare institutions in the US. And they have a deep bench of talent from healthcare services firms like the Advisory Board, Optum, and Triage Consulting. Only with this unique blend of talent could they develop an entirely new approach to automation that is purpose-built for revenue cycle management in healthcare.
