Flex is built for organizations that need actuarial insight most, including:

• Providers evaluating VBC entry, who need to model contract economics before committing to risk
• Small and mid-sized payors and providers with limited actuarial staff, who require expert-level analytics without the overhead of a full actuarial function
• Providers assessing population risk ahead of a value-based contract, who need clarity on exposure before signing

With Flex, organizations can upload their own data, analyze any population, benchmark performance against national targets, and query results in natural language through the Arbital AI Assistant. The result is actuarial-grade insight delivered in days rather than the months typically required for platform technology implementations or consulting engagements.

“For organizations new to VBC, delayed performance visibility quickly becomes costly,” said Brian M. Overstreet, President and CEO of Arbital Health. “Risk contracts demand proactive, forward-looking insight, not retrospective reporting. Flex gives payor and provider organizations the fastest path to VBC insight available today, so our clients can make smarter risk decisions from day one.”

“Arbital brings a level of actuarial expertise to VBC that is essential for our team,” said Beth Houck, CEO of Sonar MD. “The analytical depth behind the platform reflects years of specialized work in risk contract economics, and Flex makes that expertise accessible instantly. Combined with the fact that we hold the largest IBD dataset in the industry, the foundation for succeeding in VBC specialty models, our team was extracting meaningful insight within days of getting started.”

“There is no other solution like Flex on the market today,” said Jiaming Wang, Head of Product at Arbital Health. “Payor and provider teams have historically had to choose between manual analysis and costly consulting engagements. Flex offers a third option: an AI-enabled, self-serve platform that delivers Arbital’s actuarial expertise in days, not months.”

The complete Arbital AI Platform adds the support of its team of expert VBC actuaries, the same actuaries who built Arbital Flex and have spent decades working inside VBC and complex risk arrangements. The team stays actively in tune with shifting market dynamics, regulatory changes, and emerging cost trends, so the platform evolves with the market rather than chasing it.

Through the Workbench, manufacturers and agencies combine their first-party data with campaign exposure, clinical intent, HCP identity, access, claims, and outcome signals in a permissioned, privacy-safe environment, then query that combined view to understand what is working, where it is working, and what should happen next.

Measurement you operate

The Closed Loop Measurement framework reads every channel on the same stages; the Workbench is where teams interrogate it. Which audiences are showing rising intent. Which channels are influencing prescribing behavior. Where access friction is slowing conversion. Which interventions are most likely to improve the next commercial action. Semmelweis Doceree’s pharma-specific reasoning and orchestration model reasons across the environment, moving teams from static dashboards to guided analysis, scenario planning, and faster optimization.

“Earlier this month we closed the measurement loop every HCP channel, one clinical signal, one language from spend to script,” said Harshit Jain, MD, Founder & Global CEO of Doceree. “The Workbench is the second half of that promise, and it is the half measurement vendors never deliver: the loop is closed, but the system is open. A brand’s truth doesn’t live inside any one platform ours included. Now it doesn’t have to.”

Your infrastructure or ours

For clients that already have data infrastructure, the Workbench connects into it through secure connectors and partner integrations. For clients that need a compliant environment built around them, Doceree stands up a clean room and analytics layer tailored to their data, partners, and measurement needs. In both cases, the goal is the same: a governed way to connect signal, activation, and outcome measurement across the commercialization journey.

“We refuse to make clients choose between our intelligence and their infrastructure,” said Kamya Elawadhi, Co-Founder & President of Doceree. “Bring your data, keep your partners, keep your clean rooms the Workbench meets your stack where it is. What teams get is the thing this industry has never had: their own data and ours answering the same question, in the same place.”

Built for the questions measurement rarely answers

That same foundation supports closed-loop campaign analytics, audience quality analysis, and incrementality studies.  In an industry where measurement cycles often take months, the Workbench compresses the path from data to decision.

Zeus AI is built on one principle: AI handles the volume, people handle the judgment. It starts in the exam room, where an AI scribe turns the visit into a structured SOAP note with suggested billing codes. From there, Zeus AI prepares and checks claims, follows up with payers, and keeps the entire cycle moving – while Cosentus experts review the work and own every important decision.

And when a claim is denied, Zeus AI doesn’t just flag it – it writes the appeal, from first- and second-level letters through external review, ready for a specialist to send. Denials get worked, not just tracked. Work that once took days now takes minutes – which means less manual effort, fewer denials, and clearer visibility into every dollar.

“We didn’t build Zeus AI to chase a trend. We built it in-house, on 25 years of real revenue cycle work, because our clients deserve the efficiency of AI without losing the expertise that earns them their money. Sophisticated technology in the hands of real experts – that is the future of revenue cycle management, and it’s the standard we intend to set.” – G.S. Bhalla, Founder & CEO, Cosentus

Real People + AI

This is the heart of the Real People + AI model at Cosentus: AI brings speed, scale, and consistency; real specialists bring judgment, empathy, and accountability – the things that matter when a claim is complicated, a payer pushes back, or a patient has a question. Clients aren’t handed a tool and left alone. They get the Cosentus team they trust, now far more powerful.

“Revenue cycle management comes down to two things: doing the routine work flawlessly, and applying real judgment when it isn’t routine. Zeus AI carries the volume so our specialists can own the decisions that demand experience – while clients keep the people and systems they already trust.” – Allen Ranjan, Chief Client Officer, Cosentus

Nine voice agents that never clock out

Zeus AI also puts nine named voice agents to work across the revenue cycle – checking eligibility, chasing prior authorizations, confirming claim status, and answering patient billing questions. Elly handles eligibility, Paige authorizations, Priya payments, and six more, working around the clock in six languages – so the Cosentus team is freed for the conversations that need a human touch.

Built to fit, built to protect

Zeus AI fits into a client’s world instead of replacing it, connecting with all the major EHR systems so clinical workflows never change. And because this is healthcare, protected health information stays secured in a healthcare-grade cloud, is never shared with outside parties, and is built to meet HIPAA requirements.

The platform targets a persistent operational bottleneck in acute care: traditional operative reports, which are often drafted from memory hours after a procedure, achieve only a 72.8% accuracy rate according to peer-reviewed research in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. Theator’s system uses proprietary computer vision to analyze live video feeds recognizing procedural steps, tracking safety milestones, and verifying clinical events as they happen—to deliver a structured, audited operative report by the time the surgeon leaves the room. For healthcare systems, this automated data entry ensures that financial and clinical documentation flows immediately into revenue cycle management workflows, eliminating coding gaps and providing an accurate financial record that truly reflects case complexity.

Highlighting the importance of extending automated intelligence into acute clinical environments, Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, stated: “Clinical documentation has reached almost every setting in medicine, but it has stopped at the door of the operating room. By teaming with Theator, we can help surgeons leverage technology that understands what is actually happening during surgery and use AI to streamline the documentation process to reduce cognitive burden. This is another example of our commitment to working with a broad ecosystem of companies to achieve meaningful transformation by expanding choice for customers.”

Underscoring how the structural integration of intraoperative data redefines global healthcare analytics, Dr. Tamir Wolf, CEO of Theator, concluded: “This partnership changes the architecture of how surgical data enters the health record. When surgical data flows into the EHR with the same structure and reliability as every other clinical encounter, you unlock capabilities that were never possible before: system-wide quality benchmarking, real-time safety intelligence, and standardized surgical care across institutions. The operative report is where it starts. It is not where it ends.”

By streamlining how practitioners review, engage with, and prepare for treatment, Care Aide seeks to address the heaviest operational drains for private practice clinicians, allowing clinicians to navigate their daily administrative tasks with greater ease. Today’s launch is timely as SimplePractice’s “Annual State of Private Practice Report (2025 in Review)” found that, while overall clinician satisfaction in independent practice remains high, a key challenge is the administrative burden. By designing a solution that combats this, SimplePractice aims to redefine how practitioners balance clinical excellence with operational efficiency.

“AI in healthcare deserves thoughtful, measured implementation,” said Jonathan Seltzer, CEO of SimplePractice. “What we hear consistently from clinicians is that they want technology to act as a tool, not a decision-maker. They need support with the administrative work that takes time away from care, while keeping clinical expertise and judgment exactly where it belongs. Care Aide is built around that principle. It keeps clinicians in control while helping with the practical work of preparation, documentation, treatment planning, and follow-through.”

Driving Medicare Advantage Performance

While the Medicare Advantage market continues to evolve, it remains one of the most important growth opportunities for health plans. However, increasing regulatory complexity, heightened Star Ratings pressure, rising medical costs, and evolving member expectations have made performance management more challenging than ever.

Enhancements to Medicare Advantage Insights deliver a more comprehensive and targeted view of the factors impacting performance across quality, risk adjustment, utilization, member experience, and financial outcomes. By connecting these traditionally siloed domains, health plans can identify emerging risks earlier, align operational priorities, and prioritize resources toward the interventions most likely to improve member outcomes, Star Ratings, and financial performance.

Strengthening Employer Group Competitiveness and Satisfaction

At the same time, employers are demanding greater transparency, accountability, and value from their healthcare partners.

New innovations within Employer Group Performance enable health plans to better understand and proactively manage employer-specific cost drivers, high-cost claimants, utilization, quality, and engagement trends while proactively identifying and prioritizing opportunities to improve account performance, strengthen retention, and support growth. Through interactive dynamic reporting, benchmarking, and self-service, Employer Group Performance provides executives with actionable intelligence that helps demonstrate value while supporting more strategic employer relationships.

From Enterprise Intelligence to Enterprise Performance

Unlike traditional analytics platforms that stop at reporting, MedeAnalytics combines enterprise data management, cross-domain analytics, native AI, workflow-enabled action, and Strategic Advisory services to help organizations translate intelligence into measurable business outcomes.

The result is a more connected approach to healthcare performance—one that helps health plans improve financial results, optimize utilization, strengthen quality outcomes, manage operational complexity, and maximize the value of existing technology investments.

With this expansion, chart-aware intelligence now covers every step of the hospital stay, from admission through discharge, synthesizing prior notes, labs, imaging, medications, vitals, and orders across every workflow. The result is documentation that reflects the complexity of a patient’s care and a health system that captures the revenue it has earned.

Inpatient medicine is fundamentally different from the outpatient setting. Hospitalists manage 15 to 20 patients simultaneously, each with evolving diagnoses, shifting labs, and medication changes accumulating day over day. The cognitive load means clinicians often carry yesterday’s note forward rather than synthesizing what changed overnight, and context gets lost between shifts, departments, and care teams. When documentation is incomplete, it cannot be translated into the right billable codes, care gaps emerge, and health systems are not appropriately compensated for the care they actually provided.

Most ambient AI was built for outpatient care, where a clinician enters a room, has a conversation, and the AI generates a note. In roughly half of all inpatient encounters there is no conversation to capture, and even when there is one, non-conversational data, including labs, medication changes, imaging, and prior diagnoses, is what actually drives documentation and care. Ambience’s analysis found that 70% of clinically important inpatient diagnoses have no signal in the transcript. For the diagnoses that matter most for coding and reimbursement, that figure is even higher.

“Hospitalists have never had a tool built for how they actually work,” said Dr. Michael Han, Chief Medical Officer at Ambience Healthcare. “The majority of what drives inpatient documentation never enters a conversation. By bringing chart-aware intelligence across every workflow, we can finally give hospitalists a complete picture of their patients, whether or not a recording is ever captured.”

With Patient Summary now live in the inpatient setting, chart awareness is embedded across the full inpatient arc:

• Patient Summary: Before the hospitalist enters the room, Ambience synthesizes the patient’s longitudinal history, giving clinicians the specific context they need to orient quickly to patients.
• History and Physical (H&P) Notes: Generates the full H&P from the bedside interaction, if applicable, alongside chart data.
• Diagnoses: Surfaces missed conditions and precise ICD-10 codes with supporting evidence in real time, drawing from the bedside interaction, hospital problem list and months of chart data.
• Progress Notes: Builds each note from the prior day’s note together with the current bedside interaction (if one occurred) and real-time chart data. A progress note no longer depends on a recording or a copy forward from the prior day.
• Hospital Stay Summary: Maintains a running synthesis of the admission to support clean handoffs across the care team.
• Discharge Summary: Constructs a final discharge summary from the complete hospital stay in one click, with the option to enrich it via a recorded discharge conversation.

Together, these capabilities make Ambience the only inpatient platform with chart awareness across every step of a patient stay. In evaluations across 66 encounters at four health systems, chart-aware discharge summaries resolved 91% of information gaps that standard documentation had missed.

These chart-aware capabilities have driven measurable adoption at health systems that have deployed the full inpatient solution. At Saint Luke’s Health System, utilization across H&P notes, progress notes, and discharge summaries exceeds 70%, with NPS scores rising 31 points. Nearly one in five Ambience employees is an active or trained clinician, embedded across product development, model training, and clinical validation. Building alongside clinicians is what makes it possible to build tools they actually trust and use.
