Anomaly
AI payment intelligence across payers and providers
- Founded
- 2020
- HQ
- New York, NY
- Stage
- Series A
- Raised
- $34M
What it does
- Predicts claim denials before submission
- Detects underpayments, downgrades, and policy deviations
- Automates recovery of misadjudicated claims
- Tracks payer behavior against contract terms
- Feeds intelligence into managed care negotiations
Where it's strong
- Prediction quality is unusually well documented: a 100M-claim study across two large systems flagged $828M in denials at 97% precision.
- Distribution through Availity means the intelligence can reach revenue cycle teams inside a clearinghouse workflow they already use.
- Deployed at 20+ health systems averaging over $4B in annual net patient revenue, so it has proven itself at enterprise scale.
What buyers should weigh
- Still a young Series A company with $34M raised; expect a small team and evolving product rather than a mature suite.
- It is an intelligence layer, not workflow software, so your team still executes corrections, appeals, and negotiations elsewhere.
- The models need large claim volumes to shine, which makes it a better fit for big systems than small groups.

MD Clarity
Underpayment detection and patient estimates for provider groups
- Founded
- 2010
- HQ
- Seattle, WA
- Stage
- Bootstrapped
- Raised
- n/a
What it does
- Line-item underpayment detection against contract terms
- Payer contract modeling and rate benchmarking
- Automated patient cost estimates and GFEs
- No Surprises Act compliance
- Denial tracking and categorization
- In-house underpayment recovery services
Where it's strong
- Does both detection and recovery: software surfaces variances and an in-house services team can chase the money, so you are not stitching two vendors together.
- Contract modeling plus estimates in one platform means the same rate engine powers payer accountability and patient transparency.
- Bootstrapped and profitable-minded, so no investor-driven pivots or forced upsells.
What buyers should weigh
- A smaller company (tens of employees), so implementation bandwidth and enterprise support depth are thinner than large RCM vendors.
- Value depends on loading accurate, current payer contracts; groups with messy or unmanaged contracts face real setup work.
- Aimed at physician groups and MSOs; large hospital systems on Epic may find native or enterprise tools a more common path.
