    The complex US healthcare system is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on bureaucracy because of poor data and a lack of transparency. Administrative expenses account for almost a quarter of the $4.1 trillion spent on healthcare in the US each year. Improvements in automated claims processing, data accuracy, and transparency could therefore release huge savings for providers and payers alike, freeing up cash to fund healthcare improvements.

     

    CoverSelf’s healthcare-specific, next-gen, cloud-native, and customizable claims accuracy platform is built from the ground up using modern software development techniques. It empowers users’ long-term success by smoothly adapting to ever-evolving, dynamic claims, and payment inaccuracies, reducing complexities and administrative costs.

     

    z21 Ventures is pleased to announce our strategic investment in CoverSelf. This investment reflects our commitment to supporting innovative solutions and purposeful companies that reshape healthcare IT. CoverSelf aligns seamlessly with our vision, providing an innovative payment integrity solution that addresses payment leakage and claims inaccuracies while remaining transparent and accessible to payers.
