Candid Health began with an API for healthcare billing, joining Y Combinator in 2020 and working with early customers on the operational problem of getting providers paid. A rules engine and, later, a user interface expanded how teams could use that foundation.
The platform developed into a broader revenue-cycle system with queues, reporting and patient-management capabilities. Its purpose remains tied to the original problem: simplify the administrative work around claims so providers can spend more of their attention on delivering care.
