Our Review
After diving deep into Develop Health's platform and speaking with healthcare providers, we're genuinely impressed by how they're tackling one of healthcare's most frustrating bottlenecks: prior authorizations. While it might not be the sexiest problem in healthtech, it's exactly the kind of nuts-and-bolts innovation that healthcare desperately needs.
A Fresh Take on an Age-Old Problem
What caught our attention is how Develop Health has managed to automate the mind-numbing process of insurance verification and prior authorization forms. Their AI doesn't just fill out forms - it's smart enough to navigate the labyrinth of different insurance plans and submission methods. The platform's ability to cover over 99% of insurance plans (compared to the industry standard of 80%) is a game-changer.
Speed That Makes a Difference
The numbers here are impressive: an 80% reduction in form completion time and up to 83% faster handling times. But what really matters is what these statistics mean in the real world - fewer delays in patient care and less burnout for healthcare staff who typically spend hours wrestling with paperwork.
Where It Really Shines
What we love most is the platform's native EHR integration. In a world where healthcare providers are drowning in different software tools, Develop Health's ability to work within existing workflows - without forcing users to switch between screens - shows they truly understand their users' needs. Plus, their custom EHR integration in just days (not months) is remarkably fast for healthcare tech.
While they're still a young company (founded in 2022), the founding team's deep healthcare experience shows in their product design. They've built something that doesn't just look good on paper - it solves real problems in ways that work in the messy reality of healthcare operations.
Who It's Perfect For
We see this as an essential tool for forward-thinking healthcare providers, especially ambulatory practices and digital health companies that are drowning in prior authorization paperwork. If you're looking to modernize your practice operations while improving patient care, this is definitely worth considering - particularly given their quick integration timeline and comprehensive insurance coverage.
