What Simplex does

Simplex builds AI agents to handle provider enrollment end-to-end. We automate pulling provider data from CAQH, filling out enrollment forms + uploading licenses via payor portals/email/phone, updating applications when returned for corrections, and performing effective date follow-ups until a final determination is made, all autonomously.

AI agents to enroll providers with payors

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

We build AI agents that automate the entire provider enrollment process with payors. Our agents pull provider data from CAQH, fill out enrollment forms, upload licenses through payor portals, email, or phone, handle application corrections, and track effective dates until final approval - all without manual intervention.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to healthcare tech and insurance companies, where our users are. It also lets us tap into deep engineering and AI talent for building our product.
