AI for risk adjustment integrity

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

We built RAF Precision AI to help Medicare Advantage Organizations improve coding accuracy, identify hidden risk adjustment signals, and defend their audits. It analyzes coding data to uncover prospective risks that traditional methods miss and supports compliance.

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

We live in New York, NY, and the company is based remotely with a presence there. After YC, we will continue operating from New York and remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where we are based and connected to our health insurance market. Remote work allows us flexibility while keeping close to our key healthcare and insurance contacts.
