Anterior exists so health insurers can focus on what matters: making care accessible and improving member health, not getting lost in admin.
Now, imagine if buying a coffee was like trying to get healthcare:
First, your barista must request pre-approval from the “Caffeine Benefits Manager” at your local bank branch. Next arrives the mountain of paperwork: detailed forms about your caffeine consumption habits, medical justification for your energy needs, and history of previous coffee orders. Finally, after an agonizing 72-hour wait, you might—just might—get permission for that latte.
Absurd? Yet that's the state of healthcare administration today. It's a horrible experience for everyone involved.
See, the tricky thing is that health plans, much like banks, need to check for fraud, waste and harmful medical practices before paying out. The difference is that banks have figured out how to make it feel seamless: you tap away for your purchases, and in the background, thousands of AI algorithms scour millions of transactions, approving the vast majority and flagging the fraudulent ones. If banks can figure it out, then healthcare must too.
At Anterior, we're creating that future for healthcare. We build and deploy AI agents that make healthcare administration as simple as tapping a credit card—instant, painless, easy. Agents that turn those 72-hour authorizations into near real-time decisions, transforming tens of thousands of patient journeys every day.
By starting with prior authorizations—a massive and urgent problem—we're laying the groundwork for a broader vision: to make all healthcare administration invisible and, dare we say, even delightful.
Today, as more healthcare organizations come online, our work is growing rapidly in both volume and impact. To meet the challenges ahead, we need engineers and product managers to build and scale high-stakes AI systems, clinicians to ensure our systems deliver safe, clinically grounded recommendations, designers to make our products intuitive and user-friendly, and operators to drive growth and execution across sales, partnerships, and operations.
