Lo que hace Ruma Care
Ruma Care automates all admin work for infusion clinics - starting with prior authorizations & copay assistance enrollment. Biologics are expensive medications that cost $80-$150K+ per year per patient, and often need to be administered in specific settings called infusion clinics. Medical providers buy these drugs up front to secure pricing deals and safer inventory - they are reimbursed for the cost of the medications through the patients’ insurance. Current medical workflows aren't built for infusion clinics. Inventory, storage, transport, and billing is still managed through paper and excel spreadsheets. And because they’re so expensive, these specialty medications are denied by insurers at a rate of 37% each year. When they are denied, when workflows fail, or patients are infused before paperwork is cleared, providers don’t get reimbursed for the medication and are left covering the costs. Ruma Care solves this so clinics get paid, patients get treated faster, and care teams spend less time fighting forms. We do this in three ways: 1. For each medication, diagnosis, and insurance combination, Ruma extracts the submission criteria required to get the drug approved by insurers. 2. We pull out the correct forms, then automate the form-filling for prior authorizations. 3. Lastly, we enroll patients in copay assistance programs, all in one workflow and platform. We turn a process that traditionally spans 70+ online portals, disparate paper forms, and manual phone calling into a single, streamlined platform. As we process prior authorizations, our models learn from denial patterns to understand exactly what insurers need to see to get a prior authorization approved.

The operations stack for biologic infusion clinics
We automate all the admin work for infusion clinics, focusing on prior authorizations and copay assistance enrollment. Our product extracts insurance submission criteria per drug and diagnosis, automates filling out prior authorization forms, and enrolls patients in copay programs. This replaces a fragmented process involving 70+ portals and manual work with a single platform that improves approval rates and reduces clinic burden.
We currently live and work in San Francisco, CA, and we would base Ruma Care here after YC as well.
San Francisco has the best access to healthcare talent, investors, and a strong startup community supporting health tech. Being here keeps us close to customers and partners.
