What Able Health does

Able Health is the one platform physician organizations need to manage value-based programs. From calculating HEDIS and Medicare measures to engaging clinicians and health plans, managing value-based programs can take an army of administrators and IT staff. Able Health simplifies administration, customized to your specific programs, so you can ease today's reporting requirements and set your organization up for the future of healthcare reimbursements.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform for physician organizations to manage value-based care programs. Our product simplifies tracking and reporting on HEDIS and Medicare quality measures, and helps organizations engage clinicians and health plans. Managing value-based reimbursement today usually requires large administrative and IT teams. We built a tool that lets small teams handle these complex programs efficiently and customize workflows for their specific needs.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has a strong healthcare and tech community. Being here gives us access to early users, talent, and potential partners in healthcare IT.
