Healthcare · Deep Expertise

AI operations consulting for healthcare practices.

Imaging centers, specialty practices, dental groups, urgent care, surgical centers, and independent providers. Built by a 15-year healthcare CEO who ships the software himself — not a book-learned consultant.

Why healthcare is our deepest vertical

Sami is the CEO of Crown Valley Imaging, a radiology center in Mission Viejo. He didn't learn healthcare from a book. He's negotiated every payer contract, signed every payroll check, dealt with every staff crisis, and operated through the kind of pressure that kills most small practices. Fifteen years of it. Then he built the patient-collections platform for his own AR — and watched it collect +129% of what his legacy platform did on the same patient panel in 123 days.

That's the foundation. The method generalizes to any healthcare practice with a patient-AR problem, an intake paperwork problem, or a phone-volume problem.

Capabilities

What we build for healthcare.

Real production software. Not demos, not slide decks. Each capability is shipped or shippable.

AI-driven revenue cycle automation

Patient collections over SMS, email, voice. AR recovery, denial prediction, autonomous payment posting. Measured on a live radiology practice: +129% collections in 123 days vs. legacy platform.

Autonomous patient intake

HIPAA-compliant digital front door. Pre-fill from past visits, SMS/email invitations, tablet kiosk mode for walk-ins, Document AI for automatic data extraction. Kills the clipboard and the PDF.

AI voice agents for inbound calls

Scheduling, patient screening, exam-prep instructions, FAQs. Answers the phone so your front desk doesn't have to. Built on Retell AI + Twilio + Make.com.

Prior auth + eligibility verification

Real-time eligibility checks and prior-authorization automation. Reduce denial rates at submission, not at appeal.

Claim scrubbing + denial prediction

Straight-through claim processing. ML-assisted denial prediction on batches before submission. NPPES and OIG/SAM screening integrated.

Computer vision + NLP on clinical docs

OCR, summarization, structured data extraction from faxes, referrals, and scanned paperwork. Gemini-powered where it fits; traditional OCR where it doesn't.

HIPAA Safe Harbor de-identification pipelines

De-ID pipelines for DICOM imaging and clinical data. PHI stripping, date shifting, UID regeneration, NLP-based report labeling. Built for AI training data licensing.

Back-office FTE consolidation

Agentic workflows that replace manual coordination work. Scale patient volume without scaling front-desk and billing headcount linearly.

Live since Dec 15, 2025 · 123-day measurement

AI patient collections — +129% in 123 days.

Replaced a legacy billing platform at a diagnostic imaging group. AI-assisted patient-billing operating system with 12 observable capabilities: approval-gated settlement campaigns, inbound SMS intent classification, autonomous safe-intent replies, risk scoring, payment prediction, send-time optimization, and a semi-autonomous follow-up agent.

$1,000 flat

Quick Dive

2-hour session. One specific issue (phone volume, collections, intake bottleneck). Follow-up memo.

$5K – $10K

Ops Diagnostic

1–2 weeks embedded. Top 5 operational leaks ranked by ROI. Refund half if we find nothing worth fixing.

$15K – $75K+

Build & Deploy

4–12 weeks. Scoped implementation — collections platform, intake automation, AI scheduling, de-ID pipeline, custom ops tooling.

$4K – $15K/mo

Managed Retainer

HIPAA-compliant end-to-end

Every build treats PHI with Safe Harbor discipline. De-identification pipelines, access logs, audit trails, BAA-ready.

Operator, not consultant

We run a healthcare business ourselves. Every recommendation is one we've implemented or tested on our own P&L first.

Reproducible measurement

Every metric we publish is derivable from raw platform exports. No vendor self-reported lift claims — only observed data.
