Machinify is a leading healthcare intelligence company with expertise across the payment continuum, delivering unmatched value, transparency, and efficiency to health plan clients across the country. Deployed by over 85 health plans, including many of the top 20, and representing more than 270 million lives, Machinify brings together a fully configurable and content-rich, AI-powered platform along with best-in-class expertise.

Large insurance payers receive tens of millions of claims each year, of which they only are able to audit less than 10%. Our claim selection models help with selecting the right set of claims to audit and recover hundreds of millions of dollars each year reducing wasted medical spend. We have made significant progress already, with models that significantly outperform even selection by human experts but there are still many improvements to be made.
