Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • SmarterDx serves 85+ health systems, showing strong hospital adoption as of August 2026.
  • New Mountain's April 2025 investment and 2026 product updates fund expansion.
  • MHA endorsed SmarterDx in November 2025, boosting distribution to 250 hospitals nationwide.

What critics are saying

  • Axios and Bloomberg reported New Mountain is folding SmarterDx into Datavant in August 2026.
  • Datavant's $2.5 billion recap and proposed merger signal heavy leverage and integration risk.
  • SmarterDx is still unprofitable; New Mountain can subsume it into bigger platforms.

What makes SmarterDx unique

  • SmarterDx reviews 100% of charts, not samples, for pre-bill revenue integrity.
  • Its clinical AI maps notes, labs, meds, and ICD codes into missed diagnoses.
  • KLAS 2026 cited FMOL Health gaining $30 million after adopting SmarterPrebill.
