About Protego Health
Protego Health is an AI-powered healthcare company focused on preventing medical claim denials and streamlining the appeals process. The company offers solutions that analyze medical claims against payer policies and coding guidelines to identify and prevent potential denials before submission. Their platform also generates claim-level appeals using a comprehensive database of policies, coding initiatives, and historical appeals data.
For physicians and healthcare providers, Protego Health’s tools aim to reduce administrative burden, improve collection rates, and boost revenue cycle management (RCM) staff productivity. Their services include a web extension for real-time denial prevention, an appeal generator, and a reference tool for verifying medical necessity. The system is designed to integrate with most web-based EHRs without requiring complex technical integrations or disrupting existing workflows. Protego Health’s solutions are intended for ambulatory practices, hospitals/health systems, and RCM companies.
The company’s mission is to act as a shield against unjust medical claim denials, safeguarding healthcare providers and their patients. The founding of Protego Health was inspired by co-founder and CEO Corey Feldman’s personal experience with his brother facing substantial medical bills due to incorrectly denied claims.
