SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AKASA™, the only Unified Automation™ company for healthcare revenue cycle management, today announced several company milestones, including a growing customer base that now represents more than $100 billion in aggregate net patient revenues which equates to nearly 10 percent of all U.S. health system spending annually, according to data from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services. AKASA automates medical billing and claim remittances processes for healthcare providers that provide care across all 50 states. Additionally, the company disclosed that Symphony Ventures, an investment partnership established by professional golfer Rory McIlroy and his team, signed on as an investor in its previously announced Series B round.

"I was introduced to AKASA by friends in the healthcare world. I am very impressed with how they are implementing AI technology to such an important part of the US healthcare ecosystem," said McIlroy.

Rigorous, evidence-based research validating the company's proprietary models and algorithms has been published in peer-review journals and presented at conferences such as the International Conference of Machine Learning (ICML) and the Machine Learning for Healthcare Conference (MLHC), among others. AKASA's models and algorithms have been trained on nearly 250 million claims and remittances.
