Generative AI for the healthcare revenue cycle with institution tuned LLMs spanning coding, CDI, prior auth, and claims, deployed across Cleveland Clinic US locations with sentence level justification for every suggested code.

AKASA provides generative AI for the healthcare revenue cycle spanning prior authorization, clinical documentation integrity, coding, and claims management. Its models are institution tuned LLMs trained on clinical and financial data, reasoning over patient records that average 60 documents and 50,000 words, with some clients running all hospital billing through AI review while humans validate results.

The platform provides justifications that point reviewers to the exact sentence in the medical record supporting each suggested code. A strategic collaboration with Cleveland Clinic (announced April 2025) deploys AKASA coding and CDI tools across Cleveland Clinic's US locations, where staff previously reviewed 100+ clinical documents per case against more than 140,000 code options.
