Develop Health
Develop Health is a San Francisco Bay Area healthtech company building AI that removes the paperwork between a doctor writing a prescription and a patient actually getting it. Its EHR-integrated platform uses more than a dozen purpose-built large language model pipelines to verify insurance coverage in real time, assemble and submit the correct prior authorization package, track status, and draft appeals for denials - work that normally consumes hours of a care team's day. Founded in 2022 by former Canvas Medical and Rupa Health operators, the company raised a $14.3M Series A in August 2025 and says it cuts medication-access admin work by roughly 83% while supporting hundreds of thousands of patients a month.
SamaCare
SamaCare is a San Francisco-based healthcare technology company that runs the leading medical-benefit prior authorization platform for specialty medications. Its cloud-based, AI-assisted software replaces the fax-and-phone paperwork that delays patients from receiving life-changing biologics, automating submission, tracking, benefit verification, and enrollment across major US payers. The platform serves specialty practices in retina, oncology, neurology, and rheumatology, plus pharmaceutical manufacturers who use SamaCare's real-time data to improve patient access.
