What TrueClaim does

TrueClaim is rebuilding health plan administration software from the ground-up, with modern technology and AI. Most health plans and third-party administrators (TPAs) still operate on outdated legacy technology that’s slow, error-prone and costly. We’re the modern alternative: AI-powered claims review, API-first architecture, and a platform that makes operating great health plans radically simpler. Think Shopify, but for health plans. We're on a mission to modernize how health plans operate to make the healthcare system more transparent, efficient and affordable for everyone.

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

We're building a health plan administration platform that replaces legacy claims processing software. Our product uses AI to review claims faster and more accurately, and has API-first architecture to let health plans and TPAs operate simply and transparently. It's software that powers health plans, making them easier to run and cheaper to manage.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC, we plan to stay based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent and ecosystem we need to build this complex healthcare platform. The proximity to potential customers and partners in health tech also helps.
