About Alaffia & Our Mission

Each year, the U.S. healthcare system suffers from over $500B in wasted spending due to medical billing fraud, waste, and administrative burden. At Alaffia, we’re committed to changing that paradigm. We’ve assembled a team of clinicians, AI engineers, and product experts to build advanced AI solutions that will directly bend the cost curve for all patients across the healthcare ecosystem. Collectively, we’re building best-in-class AI software to provide our customers with co-pilot tools, AI agents, and other cutting-edge solutions to reduce administrative burden and reduce healthcare costs. 

We’re a high-growth, venture-backed startup based in NYC and are actively scaling our company.
