- Pick Assort Health if your specialty group's front desk is drowning in scheduling calls and you want voice agents handling them within weeks, not an EHR project.
- Pick Standard Practice if your pain is specifically staff time lost to outbound payer and pharmacy phone calls.
Assort Health
AI call center for specialty practice front desks
- Founded
- 2023
- HQ
- San Francisco, CA
- Stage
- Series C
- Raised
- $222M+
What it does
- Voice AI answers inbound patient calls around the clock
- Books appointments using per-surgeon, specialty-specific scheduling logic
- Triages calls and routes complex cases to staff
- Answers FAQs and handles reschedules and referrals
- Writes appointments and tasks back to the EHR in real time
Where it's strong
- Specialty-specific scheduling logic (per-surgeon rules in orthopedics, ENT, and 20+ specialties) is the hard part competitors gloss over.
- Publishes named customer economics, like $2.3M added revenue at Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons and a 75% drop in call abandonment at Peninsula Orthopaedic.
- Heavily capitalized ($222M+ raised, $1.2B valuation) with native integration into 20+ EHRs common in specialty practices.
What buyers should weigh
- Founded in 2023, so processes, support, and product maturity are those of a three-year-old company scaling extremely fast.
- Raised $222M in roughly 15 months; expect aggressive expansion and possible pricing pressure to grow into the valuation.
- Built for specialty practices and MSOs; large hospital contact centers with broad non-scheduling call types are less proven territory.

Integrations
Standard Practice
Voice AI that calls payers so staff do not
- Founded
- 2021
- HQ
- New York, NY
- Stage
- Seed
- Raised
- $8.5M
What it does
- Dials payers, navigates IVR menus, waits on hold
- Benefits and eligibility verification calls
- Prior authorization follow-up
- Claim status and follow-up calls
- Credentialing and EDI enrollment calls
- Responds to payer reps in real time
Where it's strong
- Narrow focus on outbound payer calls means depth in IVR navigation, hold handling, and live rep conversations.
- No inbound call center replacement to configure; it slots beside existing RCM workflows.
- Team has been in healthcare operations since 2021 and pivoted based on direct practice pain.
What buyers should weigh
- No customers or case study results are publicly named.
- Disclosed funding ($8.5M, raised for the prior Nibble Health product) is small next to voice AI rivals.
- Outbound payer calls only; patient-facing calls need another tool.
