Lassie

Lassie enables doctors to focus on patients, not paperwork. The average practice spends around 200 hours a month running itself. We have seen firsthand how the administrative burden is quietly breaking independent healthcare. Doctors work late into the night so that they can get through all of their paperwork by hand. Nobody taught them how to submit a claim, bill a patient, or reconcile insurance payments. Our goal is to enable these businesses to run themselves. Lassie works autonomously, around the clock, reading insurance claims, reconciling payments, handling denials and appeals. Over 700 practices across 49 states trust Lassie to run their operations. In the past year alone, we have saved more than 250,000 hours of labor, time redirected entirely to patient care. Learn more or join the team: lassie.ai
