About MedSynthea
MedSynthea is an autonomous clinical revenue cycle management (RCM) platform that coordinates nine specialized AI agents across the workflow between appointment scheduling and reimbursement.
The platform automates repetitive, rule-based RCM work so healthcare teams can focus on exceptions, decisions, and patient interactions that require human expertise.
Most RCM technology addresses a single stage of the revenue cycle—eligibility checking, coding assistance, claim scrubbing, or denial management. Those point solutions create fragmented workflows with manual handoffs between stages.
MedSynthea takes a platform approach: nine specialized AI agents work across the entire revenue cycle in parallel, passing context, flags, and evidence from one stage to the next.
MedSynthea is designed for healthcare organizations and revenue cycle leaders evaluating AI-powered RCM, including:
- Revenue Cycle Directors and Managers
- CFOs and Finance Leaders
- Practice Administrators
- IT and Compliance Leaders
- Billing Company Owners serving multiple provider clients
No. MedSynthea does not replace billing teams with software. Agents handle volume while your team handles complexity.
Every agent workflow includes configurable human review points for sensitive, high-impact, or ambiguous cases so expert judgment is applied where it matters most.
The AI Agents
MedSynthea coordinates nine specialized AI agents across the clinical and financial workflow.
Each agent owns a focused stage of the revenue cycle:
- APPT captures appointment context for downstream billing workflows
- ELIG verifies insurance eligibility and performs deep benefits analysis
- SCRIBE transcribes clinical encounters into structured documentation
- NOTE structures clinical notes for coding readiness
- CODE assigns ICD-10 and CPT codes with payer-specific rule validation
- RISK scores every claim for denial risk before submission
- LEARN feeds outcome data back to improve all agents continuously
- FLW manages claim follow-up and outbound communication
- EOB processes remittances, posts payments, and detects underpayments
The agents communicate with each other—passing context, flags, and evidence from one stage to the next.
The result is a connected workflow from intake to payment, without the handoffs that slow traditional operations.
Yes. Teams can turn agents on individually, or let the full autonomous cycle run end to end, depending on operational priorities and readiness.
MedSynthea follows a strict rule of evidence: agents do not generate outputs without verifiable clinical support.
Every clinical note, billing code, and workflow decision is linked to its source data, maintaining the audit trail healthcare requires.
Integration and Compatibility
MedSynthea acts as a compliant middleware layer, using SMART on FHIR to connect with existing EHR and practice management systems.
Approved documentation and codes can be written directly into the EHR—no rip-and-replace, no data migration, and no disruption to clinical workflows.
MedSynthea integrates with 50+ leading EHR and practice management platforms, including Epic, Cerner, Athena Health, eClinicalWorks, AdvancedMD, CareCloud, CollaborateMD, dr chrono, e-MDs, InSync, Kareo, Next Step Solutions, Office Ally, Prime Clinical Systems, WebPT, Availity, and more.
Yes. MedSynthea supports revenue cycle automation across 30+ clinical specialties, from primary care and family medicine to surgical specialties, mental health, radiology, physical therapy, DME, and more.
Agents are configured with specialty-specific coding logic, documentation requirements, and payer rules that reflect the clinical context of each practice.
No. MedSynthea is designed for integration, not replacement. It connects to existing systems without requiring rip-and-replace deployments or disruptive data migrations.
SMART on FHIR integration uses standardized authentication and authorization, with scoped permissions that limit agent access to the specific data elements required for each workflow.
Integration maintains the EHR’s existing access controls and audit logging.
Security and Compliance
MedSynthea’s zero-trust architecture de-identifies PHI before any AI reasoning occurs.
The PHI Scrubber strips HIPAA-defined PHI elements and replaces them with encrypted tokens before data reaches any AI processing layer. Agents reason on de-identified data and never see, process, or store raw PHI.
De-identified data elements are replaced with encrypted tokens stored in MedSynthea’s Token Vault. These tokens:
- Encrypt PHI at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption protocols
- Expire automatically with a 15-minute time-to-live (TTL)
- Map back to original data only for approved clinical or billing workflows—never for AI reasoning or system logging
- Are inaccessible to the AI agents themselves
No. The PHI Scrubber and Token Vault ensure 0% PHI exposure in system logs across all nine AI agents and all stages of the revenue cycle workflow.
MedSynthea’s security architecture is designed to support HIPAA compliance across Administrative, Physical, and Technical Safeguard requirements, including BAA execution for covered entity relationships, audit controls, access management, and integrity controls across agent handoffs.
MedSynthea applies comprehensive platform controls, including:
- TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest
- Role-based access control (RBAC) for platform functions and data
- Authenticated, authorized agent-to-agent communication
- SOC 2-compliant cloud infrastructure with network segmentation
- Retention and disposal policies aligned with HIPAA and customer agreements
Deployment and Getting Started
Book a personalized demo to see how MedSynthea coordinates nine AI agents from eligibility to payment—with human oversight on the exceptions that matter.
After you submit a demo request, a specialist follows up with scheduling and a brief pre-demo questionnaire to customize the walkthrough for your environment.
Typically 30–45 minutes, depending on how deep you’d like to go. The walkthrough is customized based on your role and priorities.
Deployment timelines vary based on organization size, EHR environment, and scope.
MedSynthea works with your team to plan a phased deployment that starts delivering value quickly, including optional pilot planning with defined scope, timeline, and success metrics.
Your path from demo request to deployment typically includes:
- Confirmation within one business day, with scheduled demo time and a pre-demo questionnaire
- Personalized demo configured for your specialty, payer mix, and EHR environment
- Optional technical review of integration, security architecture, and deployment configuration
- Pilot planning with scope, timeline, and success metrics before full rollout
Claims and Denial Management
The RISK agent evaluates every claim for denial risk before submission—scoring claims based on historical patterns, payer behavior, and claim characteristics, and routing high-risk claims for human review.
SCRIBE, NOTE, and CODE convert encounter audio into structured clinical documentation, assign ICD-10 and CPT codes with payer-specific rule validation, and link every code to supporting clinical evidence.
Validated claims are submitted electronically. The FLW agent monitors claim status, manages follow-up, and escalates stalled claims so teams focus on actions instead of routine checks.
The EOB agent processes ERA/EOB remittances, posts payments, detects underpayments against contracted rates, and flags variances for review.
Platform Roadmap
MedSynthea scales revenue operations through an evolving parallel agent network:
- Phase 1 — Software Capabilities (Q1 2026 — Current): 9 Core Agents
- Phase 2 — Intelligence Layer (Q2 2026 — In Progress): +5 Intelligence Agents
- Phase 3 — Process Automation (Q3 2026): +4 Automation Agents
- Phase 4 — Advanced Analytics (Q4 2026): +3 Analytics Agents
Each phase adds specialized intelligence layers that work in concert with the existing agent network—expanding coverage across the revenue cycle without disrupting current operations.
Pricing and Contracts
Pricing depends on organization size, specialty mix, selected agents, and deployment scope.
Book a demo to discuss configuration options and commercial terms tailored to your environment.
Yes. MedSynthea supports HIPAA-aligned contracting, including Business Associate Agreement (BAA) execution for covered entity relationships.
Product capabilities, integrations, security measures, compliance commitments, and performance outcomes are subject to final approved scope, evidence, and deployment configuration.
