Ascertain, a NYC-based healthcare technology company empowering care teams with AI, raised $10m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Deerfield Management with strategic participation from Northwell Health.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the growth and expand access to its AI-powered solutions.
Led by CEO Mark Michalski, M.D., who will also become Chief Information Officer at Deerfield Management, Ascertain provides health systems, payers, and independent provider groups with an AI-powered case management solution that automates administrative tasks such as documentation, prior authorizations, and compliance, enabling case managers to focus more on improving the quality and efficiency of patient care.
Customers can either deploy Ascertain Automate, an enterprise software platform that uses agentic AI to automate high-volume administrative workflows, or engage its tech-enabled services, outsourcing entire workflows to Ascertain’s team, which operates the software on their behalf. From prior authorization and eligibility checks to discharge planning and patient scheduling, Ascertain’s AI agents navigate complex systems, interpret unstructured data, and integrate across fragmented platforms.
The company has been generating results for Northwell Health, in partnership with its centralized transitions-of-care administration team, by initiating a pilot to process authorizations, to enable nurses, case managers, social workers, and other staff to focus more of their time on patient care rather than administrative tasks.
