Hello — we're CuraPatient

The referee
healthcare deserves.

Payers and providers have fought over claims for fifty years. We didn't pick a side — we picked the patient. Our job is simple to say and hard to do: every claim paid fully, the first time.

Our story Meet the team

A smiling clinician — the people our work ultimately serves

mission · use claims data to improve access to care

Mr. Claims, the CuraClaims mascot — "Mr. Claims, reporting for duty."

The Othena platform — where CuraPatient began — Where it started — Othena, born in the pandemic.

Helping shape the future of healthcare — Where it's going — the future of paying for care.

01 Born in a crisis

We learned healthcare's hardest lesson at county scale.

CuraPatient began in the pandemic — our Othena platform helped Orange County schedule, route, and deliver COVID-19 vaccinations when every day counted. Millions of appointments. Real logistics. Real trust, earned under pressure.

What we took from it: healthcare doesn't fail for lack of care — it fails in the plumbing between the people who give care and the people who pay for it. So we aimed everything we'd learned at the most adversarial pipe in the system: the medical claim.

Today that same team is live across a top-5 U.S. integrated payer and a 46-hospital health system — payer and provider, at enterprise scale — FedRAMP High Ready (agency authorization in process) and in enterprise-grade production (full ATO in process).

02 What we believe (and proposed to CMS)

Program integrity should be shared infrastructure — not a weapon.

№ 01

Objective broker

Surface underpayments alongside overpayments. One-sided analysis isn't integrity — it's collection.

№ 02

Glass-box AI

Per-claim, explainable factor analysis. A black-box risk score should never decide a payment.

№ 03

Humans hold the pen

AI assembles and cites the evidence. A person makes every determination. Every single one.

№ 04

Systems must learn

Each cycle has to measurably sharpen the next — static systems don't deserve the work.

№ 05

Education first

Distinguish willful abuse from honest confusion. Fix the cause before chasing the dollar.

№ 06

Prevention beats recovery

The best fraud prevention is accurate payment the first time. That's the whole point.

03 The humans

Small team.
Enterprise-grade ambition.

Defense. Intelligence. Biotech. Genomics. Public health. Capital. People who have run the largest payer in America, the largest state health agency, and military health operations — aimed, together, at healthcare’s plumbing. Say hi at hello@curapatient.com.
