Waystar Unveils AI Tool to Recover $40B in Silent Denials
Waystar launched AltitudeAI, the first AI-driven solution to identify over $40 billion in annual payer recoupments, slashing reconciliation time by more than 80%. Early adopters recovered up to $32 million in previously hidden revenue for a $4 billion health system, replacing 27,000 manual hours with autonomous intelligence.
1. Introduction of AltitudeAI solution
Waystar unveiled AltitudeAI, an AI-powered platform designed to uncover post-payment recoupments, or silent denials, that reverse more than $40 billion in provider payments annually. The solution leverages a proprietary dataset encompassing 7.5 billion healthcare payment transactions and $2.4 trillion in gross claims to deliver end-to-end visibility of payer take-backs.
2. Performance metrics and case study
In early deployments, AltitudeAI reduced reconciliation time by over 80% and surfaced $32 million in hidden recoupments for a health system with $4 billion in annual revenue, replacing roughly 27,000 manual hours. Providers can now automatically match recoupments to originating claims and pursue appeals at scale, transforming previously written-off adjustments into recoverable revenue.
3. Adoption and market impact
Recoupments have grown at twice the rate of overall claim volume over the past three years, driving unpredictable cash flow and administrative burden. By surfacing systemic drivers of revenue leakage, Waystar’s solution enables providers to prioritize appeals, improve cash flow predictability, and advance toward a fully autonomous revenue cycle.
