category

Autonomous medical billing

market profile

  • text: Manual coding and claim review delay submission, while denials and small underpayments consume staff time or go unrecovered.
  • text: Independent practices can buy a managed billing service that integrates with their EHR, rather than assembling tools for each revenue cycle step.

personas

  • title: Independent physician owner
    pains:
    • Billing administration takes time away from patients and creates unpredictable revenue.
    • Denied claims and underpayments reduce practice income.
  • title: Practice or office manager
    pains:
    • Claims wait in manual coding and charge entry queues.
    • Staff lack time to pursue small denials and reconcile payments.
  • title: Revenue cycle or billing lead
    pains:
    • Payer-specific rules and missing modifiers cause first-pass failures.
    • Needs visibility into collections and reliable EHR integration.

icp

  • text: Independent US medical practices billing insurance, including primary care, internal medicine and specialty practices.
  • text: Practices with an existing EHR such as eClinicalWorks, athenahealth or DrChrono and a recurring insurance claims workflow.

message pillars

  • text: Hand off the entire billing cycle while clinicians focus on care.
  • text: Address small denials that manual teams may write off.
  • text: Connect the existing EHR rather than requiring manual chart exports.

objections

  • objection: Will we have to change our EHR?
    response: Taiga says it integrates with existing EHRs; confirm the practice's particular system and workflow before purchase.
  • objection: Can an AI service recover difficult denials?
    response: Ask for a claims-level pilot and evidence; the site describes a customer whose previously rejected claims were recovered.
  • objection: How are fees aligned with collections?
    response: The published fee is a share of collections, with no setup or per-claim fees; verify the contractual rate for the practice.

Founders

  • name: Nanda Guntupalli
    title: Founder/CEO
    role: CEO
    bio: Nanda grew up doing billing at his parents' medical practice, giving him firsthand experience with the broken revenue cycle process Taiga is fixing. He published research in IEEE and patented a transformer design deployed across the East Coast, both at 16. While at the University of Pennsylvania, he worked at Refresh (YC P25), where he built RL environments for operating EHRs.
  • name: Adam Wax
    title: Founder/CTO
    role: CTO
    bio: Adam co-founded Taiga after growing up working at his parents’ medical practice and seeing how billing kept staff from focusing on patient care. Previously, while studying CS and math full-time, he worked full-time at Refresh (YC P25), building healthcare RL environments that helped secure a $2M frontier AI lab contract. He also built CMS workflows at Hearst used by 2,600+ editors across major media brands.
