PayZen, a technology company addressing healthcare affordability with AI-powered solutions, announced an oversubscribed Series B led by NEA, with full participation from existing investors, including 7wireVentures, SignalFire, Viola Ventures, and others. This funding round includes $32 million Equity and a new $200 million credit warehouse from Viola Credit and a syndicate of insurance companies. This credit facility will support its continued rapid growth and market expansion.
Utilizing proprietary AI/ML models, automation, and seamless integration into EMR/EHR systems, PayZen simplifies the patient payment process for health systems while also making it easier for millions of patients to access and afford the care they need. And its data-driven and personalized payment plans ease the financial burden for patients while improving financial results for health systems.
PayZen has driven a culture of innovation and high-quality delivery in the Revenue Cycle Management market, challenging the status quo that has left many patients unable to afford care and has exacerbated the friction and administrative burden on healthcare providers.
In the last 2 years, PayZen has consistently achieved a remarkable 6 times year-over-year growth. And it also boasts 100% customer retention and 132% net retention. PayZen also aims to continue this momentum into the second half of this year, bringing its affordable, customized healthcare payment options to even more Americans and introducing new AI-driven solutions that further address the affordability needs of patients.
In connection with the funding, Mohamad Makhzoumi, Co-CEO, NEA, will be joining PayZen’s Board of Directors. Makhzoumi has more than two decades of experience at NEA, partnering with transformative healthcare startups across all stages of company-building.
