Founded in 2017, Notable has now raised nearly $127 million.

Notable’s platform attempts to eliminate much of the repetitive, manual administrative work that accounts for over $1 trillion in costs per year, Kapadia said. Using AI, Notable鈥檚 platform helps automate workflows in healthcare鈥攑erforming millions of tasks every week on behalf of clinicians and staff while also eliminating more than 700 hours of administrative work per clinician per year.

鈥淭he administration costs associated with health care are just growing so fast,鈥� said Kapadia, who estimates 25 to 30 people are involved from the time an appointment is made to the insurance billing for a typical health visit.

Streamlining a broken process

Kapadia got the idea for Notable when hearing physicians talk about being 鈥渉igh paid data collectors,鈥� including those in his own family. Coming form a fintech background, he thought health care could be streamlined鈥攋ust as fintech has simplified financial procedures.

The company now works with a few dozen large health care providers and has increased revenue 4x just through the first 10 months of this year compared to 2020, riding a ripple effect from COVID-19, Kapadia said. The pandemic has caused the health care industry to meet a few trends–such as digitization and the staffing crisis–head on, which has led to an increased need to alleviate workflow issues.

鈥淚t鈥檚 inevitable these things will be digital and autonomous,鈥� he said.

The 100-plus-employee company will use the new funding to continue to enhance the product and will also reach out and educate the industry on the benefits of streamlining its administrative workflows.

, general partner at ICONIQ Growth, said Notable has a large market in front of it as the administrative burden continues to compound in health care, and the COVID-19 pandemic only has exacerbated the industry鈥檚 ongoing staffing crisis.

鈥淲e are excited for Notable to further scale its team to serve more health care providers while they enhance the platform鈥檚 capabilities to meet the present and future needs of the sector and improve people鈥檚 lives,鈥� she said.

While startups such as North Carolina-based help provide access to digital health data, and others help with caregiving assistance, the administrative space is fragmented, Kapadia said.

Notable鈥檚 AI and ability to extend its platform also help differentiate it in a market where Kapadia believes the company could build itself into a large stand-alone company.

鈥淲e are in this to build a company that can outlive us,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e are in a market that needs this.鈥�
