About

Arctic Health is building AI-native credentialing and contracting for healthcare organizations. We automate the full workflow, from establishing payer contracts to enrolling each provider. We collect and validate organization and provider data according to each state and payer’s requirements, and submit on the organization's behalf. We then monitor status and compliance on an ongoing basis. Tools on the market today either perform small pieces of the workflow or price out small and mid-sized organizations. We handle the process end-to-end regardless of organization type or size. Our browser automations enable AI agents to submit and monitor across hundreds of payer portals, and our system is trained by experienced industry experts who handle every edge case. Healthcare organizations get one simple platform. We handle the rest.
