Investors

Setting the Scene
  • Outpatient clinics like dental and physical therapy offices often struggle to get paid on time due to complicated billing processes.

  • These clinics currently rely on:

    • Manual Entry: Billing is handled by people, making it slow, costly, and challenging to manage due to a shortage of skilled workers.

    • Outdated Tech: Software that is is unreliable and slow, making it difficult to manage accounts accurately and in a timely manner.

  • This week’s company offers an AI-powered platform to streamline and optimize medical back-office billing workflows.

In a Sentence

IrisMed is a medical billing software that leverages AI-driven agents to automate administrative workflows in outpatient clinics.

  • AI-Driven Agents: Intelligent systems capable of performing repetitive billing and administrative tasks without human input.

  • Automate: Streamlines billing and collections, integrates easily with existing systems, and detects inconsistencies in billing, enhancing accuracy and efficiency.

Bulleted Version

Imagine IrisMed as Zapier for outpatient clinics' financial workflows, connecting various systems and automating billing tasks that traditionally require multiple software tools and manual input.
Due Diligence
What We Like
  • Market Opportunity: With a growing demand for streamlined healthcare operations, IrisMed is initially targeting the $35B outpatient clinics market (dental, optometry, physical therapy) with plans to expand into the larger $68B mid-market segment.

  • Labor Reduction: The healthcare industry is struggling with high admin turnover rates (up to 40%) and error rates due to burnout; IrisMed’s automation could relieve this labor strain and improve accuracy.

  • Secure Integration: IrisMed ensures data security and regulatory compliance by strictly adhering to HIPAA and SOC2 standards, safeguarding patient information.

Potential Risks
  • Regulatory: IrisMed must maintain strict adherence to healthcare regulations and data protection laws to prevent legal issues and penalties.

  • Human Oversight: Although AI can handle most billing tasks, sensitive data or complex cases may still require human supervision.

  • High Stakes: If early users experience errors or mishandling by the AI, it could slow adoption and damage brand credibility.
