About The Position

CMS just turned on the data. No one's using it yet. TPAs have been auditing claims after costs lock in. CMS price transparency mandates changed that. Machine-readable pricing files now exist. You can see costs before adjudication and intervene in real-time. Influence 5-10% of claims pre-adjudication, drive millions in value. Why now: CMS Prior Authorization rule (Jan 2026), FHIR APIs mandated, price transparency files live. Infrastructure just went online. The play: Start with pre-adjudication intelligence. Expand to post-claim repricing, denials, appeals. Build toward an AI-native TPA that charges on outcomes, not percentage of claims. We're looking for Founders with deep experience in claims adjudication, TPA operations, or healthcare pricing. You know how TPAs make money, what drives their costs, and where intervention creates value. You also understand the technical layer - what's in machine-readable files, how FHIR APIs work, how claims flow through adjudication.
