Ribbon Health
Health enterprise API for doctor, insurance, cost data
We build an API platform that provides reliable, comprehensive data on doctors, insurance plans, cost, and quality to health insurers, providers, and digital health apps. Our API plugs into their existing workflows to improve provider directories, referral management, and care navigation.
We live in New York City and the company is based here now and would stay here after YC.
We chose New York because it's a major healthcare market with many insurers and providers nearby, which helps us build relationships and understand real customer needs.
