Founding AI Engineer

💡 Mission

The US healthcare system is complex, error-prone, and financially draining. Medical bills and insurance coverage shouldn’t be this hard to navigate. At Medbill AI, we’re building the one solution every American can turn to for help.

Thanks to AI and new regulations, Medbill AI can fight claim denials, correct billing errors, negotiate bills, and make coverage easier to understand—saving people time, money, and stress. Our goal is simple: to be the #1 platform that empowers all Americans to take charge of their healthcare.

🩺 About Us

Founded by former Oscar Health leaders, we’re a seed-stage company with $17M in funding. We’re lucky to be backed by the founders and investors at Hugging Face, Rocket Money, Oscar Health, TrueBill, CaseText, Forerunner Ventures, RRE Ventures, and more. We are well-funded for the next few years.
