BridgeHealthAI partners with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and community organizations to ensure every patient gets the care and benefits they deserve—without drowning care teams in paperwork.
Our platform supercharges care coordination by automating high-friction tasks such as outreach, insurance verification, eligibility checks, follow-ups, and referrals. With modern AI + cloud infrastructure, we turn hours of manual effort into seconds, helping teams close care gaps faster, protect revenue streams, and stay focused on patients.
Born out of Harvard and MIT and backed by Pear VC, Flare Capital, and Glen Tullman, BridgeHealthAI is a fast-growing, seed-stage company trusted by leading clinics. We are purpose-built for the safety net, helping clinics scale access, reduce burnout, and deliver equitable care for the 30M+ patients served by FQHCs each year.
