Apero Health
Modern medical billing
We build software that helps healthcare practices manage their billing from end to end. Our product covers eligibility checks, business intelligence, claims processing, and patient payment management. We integrate with major EHR systems to bring transparency and simplicity to a process that's typically opaque, error-prone, and slow.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based there as well. We plan to continue growing here after YC.
San Francisco is where we're located and where our customers are concentrated. The city's deep tech talent pool and startup ecosystem support our engineering and growth needs.
