What Pledge Health does
Our AI browser assistant automates insurance tasks like verifying benefits, submitting prior auths, checking claim statuses, and more across all payer portals, directly from the clinic's EHR. It does exactly what the admin team is doing today, just helps them do it 10x faster and as thoroughly as a seasoned teammate.

Company
Pledge Health
AI assistant automating insurance tasks
We built an AI browser assistant that automates insurance-related tasks on payer portals - things like verifying benefits, submitting prior authorizations, and checking claim status. It connects directly into clinics' EHR systems and does exactly what administrative teams do, but about 10x faster and with the accuracy of a seasoned teammate.
We're based in New York City now and would keep the company here after YC.
We live in New York City, which has a large healthcare ecosystem and access to clinics and payers. Staying here keeps us close to our customers and healthcare partners while participating in YC remotely if needed.
