Assort Health signals the next wave of voice AI in healthcare. Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly familiar part of healthcare, but much of the attention has focused on clinical decision support and medical documentation. A newer category of AI is gaining momentum behind the scenes: voice agents that handle patient communication and administrative workflows. That trend accelerated this month as Assort Health announced a $120 million Series C funding round, bringing the company's total funding to $222 million. Led by Menlo Ventures with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, GV, Quiet Capital, First Round Capital, Chemistry, Tao Ventures, and others, the investment reflects growing confidence that AI voice platforms may become foundational infrastructure for healthcare organizations. Beyond scheduling. Assort Health launched in 2023 with a focus on helping specialty practices manage patient phone calls. Since then, the platform has expanded far beyond appointment scheduling. Today, its AI agents support patient intake, referrals, insurance eligibility, document processing, laboratory requests, prescription refills, payments, and follow-up communications. Rather than handling a single task, the platform is designed to support patients throughout their entire care journey while reducing repetitive administrative work for healthcare staff. The company says its proprietary AI model, Synapse, was developed specifically for specialty care. According to Assort Health, Synapse learns from each deployment by generating edge cases, testing workflows, and continuously improving as it processes new patient interactions. That specialty focus is supported by a substantial proprietary dataset built from approximately 190 million patient interactions, 62,000 specialty care protocols, and 1.6 million clinical pathways. Instead of relying solely on general-purpose large language models, Assort Health is building AI around the unique workflows that distinguish specialties like dermatology, orthopedics, cardiology, and immunology. Dermatology is already seeing results. Among the practices using the platform is MDCS Dermatology, a multi-location dermatology group serving patients throughout New York and New Jersey. The practice initially adopted Assort Health's AI for inbound scheduling and call triage before expanding into additional outbound patient communication workflows. According to practice leadership, the platform connects scheduling, referrals, intake, insurance eligibility, payments, and other operational processes into a unified system instead of treating each as separate administrative tasks. MDCS reports a 20% increase in appointment bookings since implementation while maintaining a 4.9-star rating across more than 30,000 online reviews. The practice also says the increased efficiency has supported continued provider growth without sacrificing the patient experience. As dermatology practices continue balancing growing patient demand with staffing challenges, AI-powered administrative tools may become increasingly valuable for improving access while allowing clinical teams to focus on patient care. A growing race for healthcare AI. Assort Health's funding comes as investment in healthcare AI agents continues to accelerate. Companies including Artera, UnityAI, EliseAI, Hello Patient, Tennr, and Prosper AI are all developing AI systems designed to automate patient communications and administrative operations. While many platforms offer similar capabilities, companies are increasingly competing on proprietary healthcare data, specialty-specific expertise, and real-world implementation experience rather than simply offering conversational AI. For Assort Health, that competitive advantage may come from the scale of its deployments. The company reports 20-fold revenue growth over the past 15 months, driven by adoption across specialty practices and expanding partnerships with healthcare systems ranging from community organizations to academic medical centers. Looking ahead. Voice AI is quickly evolving beyond virtual receptionists into intelligent administrative platforms capable of managing much of the patient journey before a physician ever enters the exam room. For practices, that could mean fewer missed calls, shorter scheduling delays, and more efficient front-office operations. For patients, it may translate into faster access to care, more personalized communication, and fewer administrative barriers. As healthcare organizations continue investing in AI, the companies that combine specialty-specific knowledge with large proprietary datasets and proven clinical workflows may be best positioned to shape the next generation of patient access technology.

a16z backs Prosper AI with $30M as healthcare providers seek fewer admin tools. The comany has grown revenue fivefold in six months and now supports more than 150,000 healthcare providers through its AI-powered patient operations platform. Prosper AI an AI platform that runs the entire patient journey, today announced a $30 million Series A financing led by Andreessen Horowitz ("a16z"), with participation from Base10 and continued support from Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, and Company Ventures. Every patient appointment depends on workflows that occur before and after care is delivered, from scheduling and insurance verification to patient billing and collections. Historically, these processes have been fragmented across disconnected teams and point solutions, creating $450 B in administrative waste and making healthcare more expensive and less transparent for patients. Where first-generation healthcare AI stopped at scheduling, Prosper AI manages the broader patient journey. The platform answers patient calls, schedules appointments directly in the EHR, verifies insurance benefits, automates patient billing, and contacts insurers on the phone when additional information is needed. By automating the patient journey end-to-end, Prosper AI helps providers lower administrative costs by +40% while giving patients visibility into their coverage and financial responsibility before care is delivered. The result is a single platform that manages both patient and payer workflows from appointment request through reimbursement. "Healthcare providers don't want separate tools for scheduling, insurance verification, and billing," said Xavier de Gracia, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Prosper AI. "They want a single platform capable of managing the workflows that determine whether care happens and whether providers ultimately get paid. That's what we've built, and it's why providers, health systems, and healthcare technology companies are choosing Prosper AI." The financing follows a period of rapid adoption and market acceleration for the Spanish-founded company. Since its last funding announcement six months ago, Prosper AI has grown revenue 5x, added more than 40 healthcare organisations as customers, expanded across more than 150,000 healthcare providers, and become the platform powering more than $1.3 billion in patient care. "AI should make healthcare infinitely accessible," said Jay Rughani, Partner at Andreessen Horowitz. "Prosper AI stood out because of the scope of their ambition: they want to eliminate every administrative friction point between a patient and the care they need. What convinced us was the pattern we kept hearing from customers - providers would deploy Prosper AI for scheduling, then quickly ask them to take on insurance verification, then billing, and so on. That pull-through only happens when your technology can consistently guide patients through the care journey end-to-end. It's no surprise Prosper AI is winning the vast majority of competitive evaluations they enter." Adeyemi Ajao, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Base10 Partners, shared: "Prosper AI is leveraging agentic AI to transform the way provider groups and hospitals engage with patients, driving not only savings, but increased revenue and better patient experience". With the new funding, Prosper AI will expand its engineering and customer-facing teams, deepen integrations across the largest EHR platforms, and accelerate adoption across provider groups and health systems.
