Office Ally and the business of getting paid
A medical visit ends. The paperwork keeps its appointment. Office Ally has built a business connecting the two, with no-subscription practice software and a clearinghouse that handles more than a billion transactions a year.
Vyne Dental and the very expensive missing attachment
A dental practice can finish the treatment and still wait for the money. Vyne Dental has built a business in that awkward interval, where an insurance check, an X-ray and a payment link can matter as much as the appointment itself.
Kelvin Chan
Kelvin Chan is a co-founder of Nirvana, a New York healthtech company that uses machine learning and data science to turn insurance verification and cost estimation into something providers and patients can trust. He leads product and serves as president. A Columbia-trained neuroscientist who spent years building enterprise data software at Enigma, Chan started Nirvana in 2019 after a frustrating personal experience trying to find out whether his insurance would cover a therapist. The company has raised $24.2M in Series A funding led by Northzone and now powers eligibility checks across digital health platforms and provider offices nationwide.
Stedi
Stedi is an API-first, cloud-native healthcare clearinghouse that sits between providers and payers to move essential transactions - eligibility checks, claims, claim status, and electronic remittances - as programmable API calls instead of legacy batch files. Founded in 2017 by Zack Kanter, who came to EDI through an auto-parts business, Stedi rebuilt clearinghouse plumbing from scratch for the API and AI-agent era. It connects to thousands of U.S. payers, processes more than a billion transactions annually, and has raised $142 million from investors including Stripe, Addition, USV, and First Round.
