Max AI – Building Stripe for Healthcare
The Idea
Max AI is evolving healthcare billing into a lightning-fast, error-free experience—much like swiping a credit card. Replacing traditional, off-shored, and error-prone methods, our swarm of ambient AI agents autonomously handle the entire billing process—from medical coding to claim submission to fund collection—as soon as doctors finalize patient charts. Our mission is to build the AI agent infrastructure powering the financial operating system of healthcare.
The Why
US healthcare is a $5 trillion industry—medical billers make countless processing errors while raking in 4–10% per claim (~$350B). Healthcare billing errors create severe ripple effects throughout society. When billing errors occur, they delay critical medical treatments, increase healthcare costs, and burden medical professionals with administrative work—time that should be spent on patient care. By streamlining the billing process, we can:
- Enable faster access to life-saving & sustaining treatments
- Insurers deny 1 out of 5 claims due to billing errors
- Maximize time on patient care
- *Physicians spend ****between 8.7 to 15.5 hours per week ***on administrative tasks to ensure bills don’t get denied nor clawed back due to billing errors
- Protect patients from unexpected medical bills
- 20 million people (nearly 1 in 12 adults) owe medical debt due to billing errors
