CodaMetrix, an AI-powered platform for healthcare revenue cycle management, secured $55 million in Series A funding led by SignalFire.
Yale Medicine, Frist Cressey Ventures, CU Healthcare Innovation Fund and Martin Ventures participated in the round. Physician organizations from Mass General Brigham, where CodaMetrix was spun out of, also participated.
The company utilizes machine learning, natural language processing and deep learning to analyze electronic health records for autonomous medical coding.
The funds will be used to speed up CodaMetrix’s go-to-market efforts with provider organizations and health systems, and Chris Scoggins, partner at SignalFire, will join the company’s board of directors.
“As a company born out of one of the largest and most innovative health systems in the country, our team experienced firsthand the pain points caused by medical billing challenges, including delayed payments, claim denials, coder shortages, high costs, and the time they take time away from patient care,” Hamid Tabatabaie, CodaMetrix president and CEO, said in a statement. “To address these challenges, medical coding, as the proxy for evidence of care provided, has to become largely autonomous.”
AI-powered preclinical drug discovery platform TandemAI scored $35 million in Series A funding led by Qiming Venture Partners with participation from Eight Roads Ventures, OrbiMed and F Prime Capital.

“TandemAI has developed a compelling vision for drug discovery that leverages both best-in-class experimental and computational technologies,” Jarlon Tsang, managing partner and head of China for Eight Roads, said in a statement. “Significantly, their integrated approach streamlines the discovery workflow and enables access to state-of-the-art computational tools for biotechnology companies at any stage and any scale. They have assembled a world-class team that is executing on that vision.”
In 2021, TandemAI scored $25 million in seed and pre-Series A financing.

The funds will be used to continue its U.S. expansion through partnerships with healthcare providers, insurers, employers and health plans, and it will invest in technology to help with remote patient monitoring and patient engagement.
“The NewSpring team has a strong track record of building successful, scalable healthcare companies, and we believe they are the perfect partner to help power our company’s next stage of growth,” Dave French, BetterNight’s CEO, said in a statement.

“Our radar-based solutions represent the future of healthcare and patient monitoring, opening countless doors for healthcare providers and enabling people everywhere to achieve a new standard of quality in the predictive and preventive care they receive,” Sam Yang, CEO and founder of Xandar Kardian, said in a statement. “Portfolia’s continued support of Xandar Kardian, highlighted by this significant investment, speaks volumes about how much they align with our mission and believe in the life-saving capabilities of our technology.”
