Company News
Waystar has launched the healthcare industry's first AI-powered solution to combat "silent denials" — payer payment take-backs called recoupments that silently reverse more than $40 billion in provider payments annually. The problem is growing at twice the rate of overall claim volume. Powered by Waystar AltitudeAI and informed by data from 7.5 billion healthcare payment transactions worth $2.4 trillion in annual gross claims, the solution has reduced reconciliation time by over 80% amongst early adopters. One health system with $4 billion in annual revenue uncovered $32 million in previously hidden recoupments, work that would have required 13 full-time employees. Payers routinely recoup funds from previously paid claims by offsetting them against payments, sometimes years later, with little explanation. Providers often cannot identify affected claims or pursue appeals.

Over a 10 year tenure, Emad has led the company through a period of significant evolution, oversaw transformational acquisitions and strengthened the firm's position in the payer market. Working alongside private equity partners Veritas and KKR, Emad oversaw the successful integration of Edifecs. This move significantly enhanced the company's interoperability capabilities, allowing health insurers and providers to better address quality gaps, cost pressures and operational complexity. "Leading Cotiviti has been a privilege," says Emad. "I am thankful for the dedication of the senior leadership team and the commitment of its owner-employees. Together, InsurTech Digital built a resilient foundation and cultivated a culture built on respect and excellence, all supported by collaboration and purpose. "I am confident the organisation is well positioned to continue delivering meaningful impact across the healthcare ecosystem.

Waystar earns continued Best in KLAS honors. Recognition for Patient Access reflects strong client satisfaction with Waystar's industry-leading AI-powered platform LEHI, Utah and LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Waystar (Nasdaq: WAY), a provider of leading healthcare payment software, today announced it has been named Best in KLAS(R) for Patient Access - extending its streak of consecutive Best in KLAS honors to over a decade. This recognition, based on independent provider feedback, underscores Waystar's role in solving the industry's most pressing financial challenges through its AI-powered platform. Healthcare providers face significant financial headwinds, with hospitals spending more than $10 billion annually navigating complex payer authorization requirements. Industry data shows that 60% of all denials stem from front-end issues such as eligibility errors and missing authorizations. Waystar's patient access capabilities directly address these gaps by replacing manual effort with real-time, actionable intelligence and autonomous workflows that deliver meaningful ROI. "Waystar is honored to be recognized by healthcare providers for the impact of our AI-powered platform and our commitment to enduring client partnerships," said Matt Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer of Waystar. "Waystar delivers proven outcomes that help providers get paid faster and more accurately, while creating a simpler, more transparent experience for providers and patients."

Waystar is setting a new benchmark for operational efficiency by unifying pre-service activities into a single, seamless workflow. By integrating real-time visibility into insurance coverage with automated authorization, healthcare organizations can achieve a 55% reduction in eligibility-related denials and up to 90% auto-approval rates on prior authorizations - increasing provider revenue while enhancing patient access to care. Waystar also captures revenue that might otherwise be lost by helping providers uncover unknown insurance coverage before care begins - achieving up to a 55% discovery rate for patients previously deemed uninsured. Combined with pre-service estimation, providers can set clear cost expectations - accelerating collections, protecting revenue, and improving the patient experience. With more than a decade of consecutive Best in KLAS recognition, Waystar continues to set the standard for healthcare payments by delivering AI-powered innovation and proven outcomes that providers need to thrive in an increasingly complex environment.
