Commure
AI platform for clinical documentation and revenue cycle work
- Founded
- 2017
- HQ
- San Francisco, CA
- Stage
- Late-stage private, $7B valuation (2026)
- Raised
- $1B+

- Claims deployment across 130+ health systems and 3,000+ sites, so it has real enterprise scale.
What buyers should weigh
- The platform is an assembly of acquired products (Athelas, PatientKeeper, Augmedix, Memora), so integration depth varies by module.
- Fast growth by M&A means product roadmaps and account teams can shift; ask which products are strategic.
- Its marquee metrics (85%+ touchless RCM work) are vendor-reported and worth validating in a pilot.
