AI automated prior-auths for private practices

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

We built an AI-powered tool that fully automates the prior-authorization process for private medical practices. It handles everything from data gathering to submission, working more accurately and cheaply than existing manual methods.

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

We live in San Francisco, and ClaimGlide would be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are now and offers access to healthcare startups, engineering talent, and investors, making it a logical base.
