What Serif Health does
At Serif Health, we are taking the complexity out of the cost of healthcare. Our mission is to make healthcare pricing and contracting more transparent, easier to understand, fairer, and ultimately more affordable for all. New price transparency regulations have made a wealth of healthcare pricing and reimbursement data publicly available for the first time, but it is still extremely hard to ingest, organize, and actually use this data to understand the cost of care. That’s where we come in. Serif Health is building healthcare price intelligence data products and APIs to power the future of more transparent healthcare. We are an early-stage, venture-backed startup with a small, collaborative team of healthcare experts, engineers, and designers. We are excited to add new team members motivated by our mission, passionate about making a difference in healthcare, and looking forward to learning and growing from the challenges we will face along the way!

Healthcare Price Transparency APIs and Data Products
We build healthcare price intelligence data products and APIs that organize and simplify complex public healthcare pricing and reimbursement data. Our tools help payers, providers, and others understand and make healthcare costs more transparent and fairer.
We are based in Los Angeles, CA, and operate remotely as well. Post-YC, we plan to maintain this geographic flexibility but keep Los Angeles as our headquarters.
Los Angeles reflects our founders' location and allows us to tap into local healthcare and tech talent while supporting remote work. It also offers access to relevant healthcare markets and partners.
