Y-COMBINATOR BACKED

Dedicated
to bringing price transparency to
US healthcare

Our vision

Just one in six patients know the cost of care before treatment, while 20% of US healthcare provider spend goes towards financial admin.
We founded Fuse to change this—using advances in AI and automation technology to determine accurate benefits, detect underpayments, and ensure transparency for all. We want to build a healthcare system where patients receive clear cost estimates before treatment, and providers are always paid what they are contractually owed.

FAQs

How does integration work?

Fuse is designed to work seamlessly with most EHR systems. There’s no need to install new software or switch platforms. To minimize onboarding work for your team, simply send us a screen recording of your current workflow. Our solution can replicate your preferred processes, so your staff won’t need to learn new tools or juggle additional browser tabs, we know you have too many open already!

How much time can I save?

Manual eligibility and benefits checks can take 15 minutes to 2 hours, with most averaging about 30 minutes. This is often due to long hold times with payers. Fuse automates this process, reducing administrative time by up to 95% and delivering fast, accurate results for your team.

Which payer has the best hold music?

Probably Aetna. Get in touch if you disagree.

What do you mean you can check my rates?

CMS now requires all payers to publish their negotiated rates for every NPI they contract with. However, these rates are buried in massive, complex files that require advanced data science skills to analyze. Our team has experience in extracting, interpreting, and benchmarking these negotiated rates, so you get clear, actionable insights, without the technical hassle.

Is it secure?

Yes, Fuse is fully HIPAA compliant and has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance through external auditing. We follow strict data security and privacy protocols to protect sensitive healthcare information. For more details, please visit our security page.
