Beyond just fixing documentation problems, you'll help us address the process of capturing information, correctly coding visits, and getting claims paid.

About Ember

At Ember, we're tackling one of healthcare's most costly and overlooked challenges: the massive inefficiency in clinical documentation and revenue cycle management. Medical practices lose billions annually due to incomplete documentation, missed billing opportunities, and denied claims - issues that stem from antiquated systems that force clinicians to choose between patient care and paperwork.

While electronic health records promised to streamline healthcare delivery, they've often done the opposite. Clinicians spend nearly half their time on documentation and billing-related tasks, leading to burnout and reduced patient care quality. This administrative burden costs the US healthcare system over $950 billion annually, expenses that ultimately impact patient access and care quality.

As one of the top startups from the most recent Y Combinator batch, we're building an intelligent system that fundamentally reimagines how clinical documentation and revenue optimization should work. We combine ambient listening technology with deep understanding of medical billing requirements to eliminate the administrative burden that plagues healthcare providers. We're looking for experts who want to solve complex financial challenges while making a meaningful impact on healthcare delivery.
