About Ember

Ember AI is a healthcare artificial intelligence company that focuses on streamlining and optimizing revenue cycle management (RCM) for healthcare providers, including specialty physician practices and health systems. The company’s AI-powered platform aims to prevent coverage denials before they occur by continuously tracking the latest payment policies and payer behavior patterns.

Ember AI’s solution reviews clinical documentation for medical necessity and audit readiness, validates coding for compliance with national standards and payer-specific policies, and identifies denial patterns to reduce avoidable write-offs. It also automates the appeals process by generating appeal packets with clinical evidence and coding support. The platform integrates with major Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management System (PMS) platforms like Epic and Oracle Cerner, facilitating automation in prior authorization, eligibility verification, and claims submission. Ember AI claims to achieve better accuracy than certified medical coders and general-purpose AI, reducing claim denials and administrative burden, ultimately allowing providers to focus more on patient care.
