AI revenue integrity platform for healthcare providers: pre-bill audits of every encounter with cited coding rules, and ten named agents for denials, appeals, prior authorization, benefits verification, AR follow-up and underpayments, with staff approval before submission.

Ember AI (Ember Copilot) builds revenue integrity agents for healthcare providers. A pre-bill audit reviews every encounter before submission, validating CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS, modifiers and documentation against CMS NCCI edits, LCDs and NCDs, payer policy and the practice's contract terms, and each flag carries the rule behind it. Ten named agents cover denials management, prior authorizations, benefits verification, medical record requests, payment posting, AR follow-up, underpayments, medical necessity, revenue integrity and documentation.

The denials agent monitors remits and payer responses, determines whether coding, documentation or payer rules drove a denial, assembles a payer-specific appeal package with cited evidence, submits it through payer portals, mail or clearinghouses after staff review and approval, and feeds determinations back into pre-bill scoring. Ember integrates with athenahealth, ModMed, eClinicalWorks, Nextech, Veradigm, NextGen, Epic, Oracle Cerner, AdvancedMD, DrChrono and others, plus Availity and Waystar.

The vendor states SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST e1 and HIPAA with BAAs, AES-256 encryption, least-privilege role-based access, audit logs of every action and US-based cloud infrastructure, onboarding in seven days or less, and customer results such as 57 percent fewer denials.

A free ICD-10 code search tool is offered separately.

In practice

A dermatology group runs every encounter through Ember's pre bill audit, and coders fix flagged codes, each shown with the rule behind it, before claims go out.

A billing team lets the denials agent draft appeals with cited evidence, approves them in the review queue, and sends them through Availity or the payer portal.

A practice uses contract intelligence to compare what payers pay against its contracts, and the underpayments agent chases the short payments.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Full
Ember connects to EHR and practice management systems (athenahealth, ModMed, eClinicalWorks, Nextech, Veradigm, NextGen, Epic, Oracle Cerner, HST Pathways, SIS, AdvancedMD, DrChrono and Altera) and to the clearinghouses Availity and Waystar. The denials agent reads remits and records and submits appeals through payer portals, mail and clearinghouses. It pulls the relevant clinical documentation from the EHR for each appeal, and Ember also connects to the major payer portals.

Workflow Orchestration	Full
Ten named agents split the work: denials management, prior authorizations, benefits verification, medical record requests, payment posting, AR follow-up, underpayments, medical necessity, revenue integrity and documentation. Each runs work in several stages. The denials agent feeds its determinations back into the prevention loop that runs before billing. Pre bill review runs in four steps: ingest encounters from the EHR, check them against coding standards and payer policy, recommend corrections with the rule cited, and share patterns back with providers.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Full
Checks and appeals cite the rule behind each finding, whether CMS and NCCI PTP edits, LCD/NCD or payer policy, along with the practice's own payer contract terms. Contract intelligence benchmarks the customer's payer rates. How retrieval works underneath is not described. The appeal engine identifies CARC and RARC codes and the LCD or NCD policy and contract terms that apply, and each appeal carries traceable citations to policy and clinical sources.

Cost watchouts

Inference, not stated by the vendor: RCM tools in this category often price per provider or as a share of recovered revenue, so cost can scale with volume or collections.

Variable cost rationale

Inference, not stated by the vendor: pricing likely tracks providers covered, claims volume or recovered revenue; the unit is not published.

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Key ambiguities

No public entry price for the platform; a separate free ICD-10 code search tool exists but is not the RCM product tier.
