Overview

Beacon Health (YC W26) is building AI employees that double revenue for primary care practices while also reducing the total cost of care.

Primary care is the primary source of care for over 200M Americans, but physicians don’t have the bandwidth to manage their patient panels.

Beacon Health builds AI employees that automate tedious background workflows - preventative screenings, prior authorizations, referrals, and risk adjustment. We handle these workflows from start to finish, directly in their EHR.

We’re on a mission is to bring joy back to primary care.
