About the company
Coral AI automates healthcare back-office tasks with an AI platform that plugs into providers’ existing systems (EHRs, fax lines, payer portals) to automate patient intake, prior authorization, billing, and compliance. It uses AI agents to read unstructured documents, extract data, verify insurance, and draft prior authorizations for human review, achieving 98.7–99.7% accuracy and processing 500k+ workflows monthly. It serves specialty providers (DME, infusion centers, radiology) on a SaaS model, with rapid commercial traction and multi-million dollar revenue; differentiators include seamless integration without infrastructure overhaul and the ability to handle unstructured data at high volume. Its goal is to reduce the $450 billion annual healthcare administrative burden and expand into other industries with complex workflows like insurance and government services.
