About Athelas
Athelas is a healthcare technology company that delivers an integrated AI-powered platform designed to transform practice operations for modern healthcare organizations. The company combines three core products—Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), an all-in-one EHR system, and Ambient AI scribing—into a unified solution that automates billing, clinical documentation, and administrative tasks. Athelas RCM leverages artificial intelligence to accelerate claim management, fight denials, and uncover revenue growth opportunities through automated tools including AI Denial Defense, Remittance Recon Agents, and Revenue AI analytics. The platform's Ambient AI scribe listens during patient encounters and generates clinical notes in real-time, adapting to each clinician's unique documentation style while automatically generating CPT and ICD-10 codes. The EHR component features an AI copilot, autonomous AI receptionist for inbound calls, custom chart note validations, patient portal, self-service waitlist, and automated pre-visit workflows. Athelas serves a diverse range of healthcare providers including urgent care centers, physical therapy practices, specialty clinics (ENT, dermatology, urology, orthopedics, gastroenterology), and multi-location healthcare networks. The company recently raised $70 million at a $7 billion valuation and has demonstrated significant customer outcomes including 80% denial rate reductions, $300k+ monthly collection increases, and 95%+ first-pass claim rates. Athelas positions itself as a comprehensive practice growth platform that returns time to providers while maximizing revenue capture through transparent, AI-driven automation.
