mission
Small clinics should be able to heal patients, not drown in paperwork. If your neighborhood pizza shop can tap a card reader and get paid instantly, doctors shouldn't have to fill out a stack of forms just to be reimbursed for a routine appointment.
Balance Health captures every doctor-patient conversation, turns it into payer-ready data on the spot, and files a clean claim before the patient reaches checkout—so care (and cash) move as quickly as ordering that slice.
why it matters
- $175 billion+ in annual admin waste keeps care under-funded.
- Physicians juggle ≈39 prior-auth errands and 13 lost hours each week.
- Denial rework costs $25–$117 per claim, yet up to 60 % never get fixed.
why small clinics feel it first
Independent practices run on razor-thin margins. Post-COVID staffing shortages and rising payer demands have made admin overhead their No. 1 threat. Every delayed approval means slower care and shaky cash flow.
what we're building
- listen – HIPAA-secure AI scribe captures the visit in real time.
- validate – Balance Engine tag codes, check necessity, and launch prior-auth on the spot.
- submit – FHIR-native claims fly to clearinghouses before checkout.
- learn – Denial feedback trains the model, boosting first-pass acceptance.
early results
- Auth turnaround: 1–3 days → minutes.
- Tens of thousands in recovered revenue per clinic.
- One full admin day a week returned to providers.
