Candid Health is a platform designed to automate healthcare providers' revenue cycle management process, allowing them to track claims and manage billing efficiently. Their platform leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to streamline medical billing, coding, and claims processing, helping healthcare providers reduce administrative burdens, increase efficiency, and ensure faster service reimbursement.

YC W20

About the Company

What we do

We’re fixing one of the most broken and costly pieces of the US healthcare system: medical billing.

Today, healthcare providers spend over $250B each year on administrative overhead just to get paid by insurance. Medical billing is expensive because it’s nuanced and hard - maybe ~100x harder than credit card payment processing - and because it’s traditionally done by armies of humans who track and manage complex rules and processes specific to individual insurance companies with little or no supporting software.

We’re rethinking medical billing from the ground up, using data science and machine learning to automate much of this complexity, so healthcare providers can get paid dramatically more easily and inexpensively.

Since finishing the Y Combinator W20 batch we've been funded by an incredible group of funds + angel investors. We have many more customers begging to use our product than we have bandwidth to serve, which is why we need you to help us scale!

Tech Stack

Back: modern Python (async, type annotated) ~mini services, Celery + Redis for task queues, Postgres.

Front: Typescript + React. Good use of hooks + styled components.

Infra: Containerize all the things. docker-compose locally, Kuberntes + Istio on GCP. Pretty sophisticated developer tooling + CI (Github Actions) given our size.
