Coding Quality Advisor

ABOUT FATHOM Fathom is on a mission to eliminate the billions of dollars of administrative waste in US healthcare. We're starting with one of its most expensive, labor-intensive workflows: medical coding. Using AI, we automate the translation of clinical notes into the billing codes used for provider reimbursement—a process that costs US hospitals $15B+ annually, plus tens of billions more in errors and denied claims. The result is healthcare that spends less time and money on administration and more on what actually matters: patients. KLAS named us the #1 emerging technology for reducing the cost of care, and many of the nation's largest health systems, health plans, and physician groups rely on us to do it. We're a Series B company backed by Lightspeed, Founders Fund, and CVS Health—taking on hard problems at the frontier of AI and healthcare, where getting it right has real consequences.
