153 questions
What is LunaBill?
LunaBill is an AI revenue cycle management platform that automates accounts receivable (AR) for hospitals and RCM firms. A coordinated team of AI agents works each claim end to end: checking payer portals, calling insurance companies, handling denials, filing appeals, and resubmitting claims, so your billing staff review outcomes instead of sitting on hold.
What does LunaBill actually do?
LunaBill works your AR queue for you. Its agents log into payer portals, place claim status calls, navigate phone trees, read back denials, draft and file appeals, resubmit corrected claims, and leave a full audit trail, around the clock and in parallel, inside the systems you already run.
How does AI automate the hospital revenue cycle?
LunaBill's AI agents do the mechanical work that slows revenue cycle teams down. They log into payer portals, place and hold claim status calls, navigate phone trees, read back denials, and queue the right next action, in parallel and around the clock, inside the EHR you already run. Your team keeps the judgment calls; the agents do the volume.
Does LunaBill actually call insurance companies?
Yes. Luna places real calls to payers, waits on hold, navigates the IVR, and gets a live answer without using a single staff minute. Across the LunaBill portfolio that is more than 90,000 payer interactions a month.
Can the AI wait on hold with a payer?
Yes. Waiting on hold is one of the things Luna does best. The agent stays on the line, works through the IVR phone tree, and only surfaces once it has a live answer, so no staff time is spent listening to hold music.
How does LunaBill handle a claim status call?
Luna takes the next claim that needs a status check off the worklist, dials the payer, holds, navigates the IVR, asks the same status questions a seasoned biller would, captures the reference number, and writes a structured note back into the workflow with the next action.
Does LunaBill work denials and appeals?
Yes. Luna reads the denial reason code, classifies the root cause, drafts the appeal with the detail the payer requires, files it, and resubmits corrected claims through your clearinghouse, following payer-specific rules.
Can LunaBill resubmit corrected claims?
Yes. When a claim needs a correction, such as a payer ID or coordination-of-benefits fix, Luna makes the correction and resubmits the claim through your existing clearinghouse, then follows it to resolution.
Does LunaBill retrieve claim status from payer portals?
Yes. Luna logs into payer portals, including Availity, Waystar, and payer-specific portals, and retrieves claim status, eligibility, and remittance automatically, in parallel across the queue, falling back to a payer call when the portal cannot answer.
What is the full LunaBill workflow, end to end?
Luna identifies an unpaid, delayed, or denied claim, checks the payer portal for status, determines what the claim needs, places a call if one is required, captures the result and next action, executes or routes that action such as a resubmission or appeal, and tracks the claim through to payment with visibility for your team.
How many AI agents does LunaBill run?
LunaBill deploys a coordinated team of 13 specialized AI agents across the revenue cycle, each focused on a part of the claim-resolution workflow, from portal retrieval to payer calls to denials and appeals.
Is there a human in the loop?
Yes. Your team keeps the judgment calls, handling escalations, complex appeals, and patient-facing work, while the agents do the mechanical volume. Every agent action carries a full audit trail your team can review.
Does every claim get an audit trail?
Yes. Every action Luna takes on a claim, from a portal check to a payer call to a resubmission, is recorded in a full audit trail your compliance team can review and, for RCM firms, hand to the client.
Which claims does LunaBill work?
Luna works the full AR queue, and it prioritizes the aged and 60+ day commercial claims that cost the most to leave sitting, because the longer a claim goes unworked, the harder it is to collect.
Can LunaBill work old, aged claims?
Yes. Aged claims are exactly where a lot of unworked revenue sits, because manual teams triage them away. Because Luna works claims at a fraction of the manual cost, the long tail of aged and small-balance claims becomes worth pursuing again.
Does the age of a claim affect recovery?
Generally, yes: the longer a claim sits unworked, the harder it becomes to collect. That is why LunaBill focuses on working claims quickly and continuously, so fewer accounts age into low-recovery territory before anyone follows up.
Does LunaBill negotiate with payers?
Luna conducts the claim-specific conversation a biller would, asking why a claim was not paid, what is missing, and what the next step is, then acts on the answer. It handles the follow-up dialogue so your team does not have to.
Is LunaBill a voice bot or a full platform?
Both, but voice is only the entry point. Calling payers is one step. LunaBill automates the surrounding workflow too: portal checks, denials, appeals, resubmissions, and tracking, so it works the whole claim-resolution process rather than just placing calls.
Does LunaBill post payments or remittance?
Luna handles the AR follow-up workflow and captures remittance and outcomes on each claim. Posting back into your EHR, such as ERAs and call notes, is scoped and configured with your team during onboarding.
Does LunaBill run around the clock?
Yes. The agents run in parallel and around the clock, so your backlog no longer depends on how many hours your staff can spend on the phone. Throughput stops tracking headcount.
Will my team still be involved day to day?
Yes, on the work that needs a human. Your billers stop holding for payers and start reviewing outcomes and handling escalations and complex appeals, while Luna takes the holds, the portal pulls, and the routine resubmissions.
Can LunaBill scale with our claim volume?
Yes. Because the agents run in parallel, capacity is not limited by headcount. LunaBill can work a growing backlog without you hiring enough people to manually pursue every claim.
Does LunaBill handle commercial claims specifically?
Yes. Commercial claims, especially aged 60+ day commercial claims, are a core focus, because they are often the hardest and most valuable slice of the AR book to work manually.
What happens when a payer portal has no answer?
Luna falls back to a payer call, holding and navigating the IVR to get a live answer, so a claim is never stuck just because one channel came up short.
Do I have to change how my billers work?
No. Luna runs inside the EHR and clearinghouse your team already uses. There is no new system for your billers to learn; they simply spend their time reviewing outcomes instead of sitting on hold.
Is LunaBill just a wrapper around a generic AI model?
No. The model is one component. LunaBill's product is the healthcare workflow around it: payer and hospital context, portal and call integrations, denial logic, compliance processes, and an understanding of how revenue cycle teams actually work.
Can LunaBill check eligibility?
Yes. As part of portal retrieval, Luna can pull eligibility along with claim status and remittance information, reconciled against the claim in your system.
Does LunaBill give my team visibility into what it did?
Yes. Every claim carries a record of the actions taken and the outcomes, so your team has accountability and visibility rather than a black box.
How much does LunaBill cost?
Pricing is performance based. LunaBill bills 1.5% of net collections recovered, only after the money lands. There is nothing upfront, no license fees, and no implementation fees. If we recover nothing, you owe nothing.
What is LunaBill's pricing model?
LunaBill is fully performance based: you pay 1.5% of net collections recovered, billed only after the money is collected. There are no seats, no license fees, and no setup fees.
Is there an upfront or setup fee?
No. There is nothing upfront. Setup, EHR and clearinghouse integration, onboarding, the BAA, and ongoing tuning are all included in the performance fee. The first time you pay LunaBill anything is after it has recovered money for you.
What does “net collections recovered” mean?
It is the money that actually lands in your account on the claims Luna works, net of any reversals. You are billed a percentage of dollars collected, not of claims touched or hours worked, so the fee only grows when your cash does.
What happens if LunaBill recovers nothing?
Then you owe nothing. The model is fully performance based, so the downside of trying LunaBill on your backlog is zero. That is also why we start with a free pilot on your actual claims.
When am I billed?
Only after money is collected. LunaBill bills a share of net collections recovered once the payment lands, never in advance and never for effort that did not result in a collection.
Are there license or per-seat fees?
No. LunaBill is not priced per seat or per license. You pay a percentage of what is actually collected, so cost scales with recovered revenue instead of with the size of your team.
Is the pilot free?
Yes. LunaBill works a sample of your actual worklist on our dime so you can see the recovery and cost per claim on your own claims before any commitment. Pricing is performance based, so there is nothing to lose by testing it.
What is included in the performance fee?
Everything: every AI agent in the platform, setup and integration with your EHR and clearinghouse, onboarding, the BAA, the full audit trail, and ongoing support and tuning as your payer mix changes. There is no separate line item for any of it.
How is LunaBill different from paying a collection agency?
Collection agencies typically take a large share of what they recover, and only after a claim has already aged and been handed off. LunaBill is performance based too, but it works claims before they age out, so you keep far more of what you are owed and fewer accounts ever reach the costly collection stage.
How is LunaBill different from an outsourced billing (BPO) firm?
Traditional outsourcing bills you for effort: seats, hours, or FTEs, whether or not the claim is collected. LunaBill is billed on outcomes, a share of net collections, so your cost is aligned with recovered revenue rather than payroll.
Why is the ROI easy to justify?
Because the product is tied directly to recovered cash rather than a vague promise of saved time. Even a small percentage improvement in collections can represent meaningful dollars at a hospital with large net patient revenue, and you only pay on what actually lands.
Does LunaBill save money or make money?
Both, but the pitch is revenue first: LunaBill recovers money you are already owed that would otherwise be delayed, underworked, or written off. It also lowers the cost to work each claim, but the primary outcome is cash collected.
How much does it cost to work a claim with LunaBill?
At Nutex Health, the fully loaded internal cost to work a claim was $22.28; with LunaBill the cost per claim was $2.00, roughly an order of magnitude lower. When the unit cost drops that far, claims that were uneconomic to touch become worth working.
Do you charge for implementation or integration?
No. Integration with your EHR and clearinghouse and the whole implementation are included in the performance fee. You do not pay a separate implementation cost.
Is pricing the same for hospitals and RCM firms?
The model is the same for both: performance based, a share of net collections recovered, billed only after the money lands. For RCM firms, that keeps your cost aligned with recovered dollars as you scale client portfolios.
Can I see the ROI on my own claims first?
Yes. That is what the free pilot is for. We work a sample of your backlog and show you the recovery and the cost per claim on your own claims before you commit to anything.
Does the fee grow if you collect more for us?
Yes, by design. Because billing is a share of recovered dollars, LunaBill earns more only when it collects more for you. The incentive is aligned by construction.
Is there a long-term contract commitment?
The engagement starts with a free pilot on your real backlog, and pricing stays performance based throughout, so you are not locked into paying for a tool that is not producing collections. For specifics on terms, the team will walk you through them on the first call.
What results can hospitals expect?
At Nutex Health, a 24 campus U.S. health system, LunaBill worked $32M+ of AR in 30 days with zero added headcount. Days in AR on 60+ day commercial claims fell from 45 to 7, and fully loaded cost per claim dropped from $22.28 to $2.00.
How much AR did LunaBill work at Nutex Health?
LunaBill worked $32M+ of AR at Nutex Health in 30 days, with zero added headcount, across a 24 campus U.S. health system running Epic and GoRev.
How much did days in AR improve?
On the hardest slice of the book, 60+ day commercial claims, days in AR at Nutex fell from 45 to 7 within three months of go live.
How much did cost per claim drop?
Fully loaded cost per claim went from $22.28 (Nutex's internal benchmark) to $2.00 (LunaBill's price per claim), roughly an order-of-magnitude reduction.
How much staff time does LunaBill save per claim?
At Nutex, staff time per claim follow up fell from 22 minutes to 4, because the agents took over the holds, the portal pulls, and the routine resubmissions.
How many payer interactions does LunaBill handle?
Across the LunaBill portfolio, trailing 30 days, the agents handle more than 90,000 payer interactions a month.
How much claim value does LunaBill work across all customers?
Portfolio wide, trailing 30 days, LunaBill worked $64.4M of claim value and handled 90,000+ payer interactions per month.
Did Nutex have to add headcount?
No. Nutex worked $32M+ of AR in 30 days with zero added headcount. The 60+ person revenue cycle team stayed in seat and moved to the work that needs a human while the agents absorbed the volume.
Is there a case study I can read?
Yes. The Nutex Health case study details how a 24 campus health system took 60+ day commercial claims from 45 to 7 days in AR, cut cost per claim from $22.28 to $2.00, and added zero headcount. It is available on the case study page.
What does the cost ratio figure mean?
The 11.1× figure is the ratio between Nutex's fully loaded internal cost per claim ($22.28) and LunaBill's price per claim ($2.00). It is a cost ratio, not a net ROI figure, and cost per claim is labeled that way throughout the site.
How is “worked” defined in your numbers?
“Worked” means a claim received a completed status retrieval, payer call, denial action, or resubmission through LunaBill. Days-in-AR figures are measured on commercial claims aged 60+ days, comparing the three months after go live with the period before.
Are your results from a real customer?
Yes. The headline figures come from the Nutex Health engagement, a 24 campus U.S. health system on Epic and GoRev, plus portfolio-wide totals across all LunaBill customers over the trailing 30 days.
Why is denial follow-up such an expensive problem?
Reworking a denied commercial claim costs $63.76 on average, per Premier Inc. ($43.84 across all payers). At that cost, teams triage rationally and let the long tail rot, which is why, per the Change Healthcare Denials Index, 65% of denied claims are never reworked at all.
How many denied claims are never reworked?
Per the Change Healthcare Revenue Cycle Denials Index, 65% of denied claims are never reworked at all. Lowering the cost to work a claim is what turns that unworked revenue back into money worth collecting.
Which EHRs and clearinghouses does LunaBill work with?
LunaBill plugs into the systems you already run, including Epic, Cerner, GoRev, Waystar, and Availity. Most customers are piloting on their own claims within 48 hours, with a BAA signed in under a day.
Does LunaBill work with Epic?
Yes. Luna works the AR queue inside Epic, reading claim status, eligibility, and remittance where your team already lives. Nutex Health runs Epic and GoRev.
Does LunaBill work with Cerner?
Yes. Luna runs inside Cerner to pull status, handle denials, and resubmit, with no new system for your billers to learn.
Does LunaBill work with GoRev?
Yes. LunaBill is native to GoRev workflows for hospital revenue cycle operations, from status checks through resubmission.
Does LunaBill work with Waystar?
Yes. Luna retrieves status and remittance through Waystar and resubmits corrected claims through your existing clearinghouse.
Does LunaBill work with Availity?
Yes. Luna logs into Availity to pull claim status and eligibility across payers automatically, in parallel across the queue.
Which payer portals does LunaBill support?
Luna retrieves status from payer portals including Availity, Waystar, and payer-specific portals, and falls back to a payer call when the portal cannot answer.
What if our system is not on your list?
The named systems are where most of our customers run today, not a hard limit. Tell us your stack on the first call and we will scope integration during onboarding.
Do we need to install new software?
No. Luna operates inside the EHR and clearinghouse your team already uses. There is no new application for your billers to learn.
How do the agents access our EHR?
Agents read claim status, eligibility, and remittance data. Posting back to the EHR, such as ERAs and call notes, is scoped and configured with your team during onboarding, and every action carries a full audit trail.
Does LunaBill work inside our systems or around them?
Inside them. Luna operates in the systems your team already trusts, with scoped access and an audit trail on everything, rather than bolting on a separate tool alongside your stack.
How long does integration take?
Most customers are piloting on their own claims within 48 hours, with a BAA signed in under a day. Integration with your EHR and clearinghouse is part of that onboarding.
Does LunaBill work with our clearinghouse?
Yes. Luna retrieves status and remittance and resubmits corrected claims through your existing clearinghouse, including Waystar and Availity.
Can LunaBill run across multiple systems at once?
Yes. The agents run in parallel across portals and systems, so status retrieval and follow-up happen across the whole queue at the same time rather than one login at a time.
Do you support both physician and hospital billing systems?
LunaBill focuses on the hospital revenue cycle and works inside the EHRs and clearinghouses hospitals run. If your environment spans multiple billing systems, tell us on the first call and we will scope it during onboarding.
How are payer portal credentials handled?
Credential storage, secrets management, and access controls are documented in our security packet, shared during vendor review, and every portal action carries a full audit trail your compliance team can review.
Can LunaBill retrieve remittance and ERA data?
Yes. As part of portal retrieval, Luna can pull remittance and ERA data alongside claim status, and reconcile it against the claim in your system.
Do you integrate with practice-management systems?
LunaBill works inside the systems hospital revenue cycle teams already run. Share your specific practice-management and EHR setup on the first call, and we will scope what integration looks like for you.
Is LunaBill HIPAA compliant?
Yes. LunaBill is HIPAA compliant with enterprise grade security, executes a BAA before any PHI moves, and is SOC 2 Type I with Type II in progress. A public trust center is available at trust.lunabill.com.
Do you sign a BAA?
Yes, before any PHI moves. The BAA is typically executed in under a day, and standard go live is 48 hours from signature. No PHI touches LunaBill systems until the BAA is in place.
What is your SOC 2 status?
LunaBill is SOC 2 Type I certified. The Type II audit is in progress, and you can track live control status at trust.lunabill.com. The Type I report is available under NDA during security review.
Does the voice agent disclose that it is AI?
Disclosure is handled per payer and state requirements. Where a payer or state requires the agent to identify itself as automated, it does.
How is PHI protected?
PHI is handled exclusively inside the product under a signed BAA, with enterprise grade security and a full audit trail on every agent action. No PHI moves before the BAA is executed.
How long is call audio retained?
Call recordings and transcripts follow a documented retention schedule, covered in the security packet and tailored to your policies during onboarding.
Who are your subprocessors?
A current subprocessor list, with the role each one plays and the agreements behind it, is provided during security review and kept updated under the BAA.
Does the LunaBill website collect PHI?
No. The marketing site collects only contact details you choose to share. PHI is handled exclusively inside the product, under a signed BAA.
Do you have a trust center?
Yes. A public trust center is available at trust.lunabill.com, where you can track live control status and see the current security and compliance posture.
Can we bring our security team to the first call?
Please do. We would rather clear vendor review in week one than month three. The security packet, SOC 2 report, and subprocessor list are ready when your IT, compliance, and privacy reviewers are.
What does your security packet include?
The security packet documents credential storage, secrets management, access controls, data retention, and subprocessors, and is shared during vendor review so your team can complete their assessment quickly.
Is there a full audit trail on agent actions?
Yes. Every action an agent takes on a claim is recorded in a full audit trail that your compliance team can review at any time.
How do you control what the agents can access?
Access is scoped and configured with your team during onboarding. Agents read claim status, eligibility, and remittance; write-back is explicitly scoped, and access controls are documented in the security packet.
Is our data encrypted?
LunaBill uses enterprise grade security to protect data. Specifics on encryption, secrets management, and access controls are documented in the security packet shared during vendor review.
When does PHI first move to LunaBill?
Only after a BAA is signed. No PHI touches LunaBill systems until the Business Associate Agreement is executed, which typically happens in under a day.
Is LunaBill built for enterprise healthcare security review?
Yes. LunaBill is built for the teams who say no, meaning IT, compliance, and privacy reviewers. The trust page answers the questions those teams ask on every vendor call, before the call.
Can we get the SOC 2 report?
The SOC 2 Type I report is available under NDA during security review. Type II is in progress, with live control status tracked at trust.lunabill.com.
How do you handle escalation and quality control?
Your team keeps the judgment calls and handles escalations and complex appeals, while agents do the mechanical volume. Every action is auditable, and oversight is configured with your team during onboarding.
Do you meet hospital procurement requirements?
LunaBill is designed to pass hospital compliance and IT review: HIPAA, SOC 2 Type I, a fast BAA, documented security controls, and a trust center. Bring your procurement and security teams to the first call and we will work through their checklist.
Is data ever used outside our engagement?
PHI is handled inside the product under your BAA and governed by the agreements documented during security review. The subprocessor list and data handling are provided and kept current under the BAA.
How quickly can you clear vendor onboarding?
Because the security packet, SOC 2 report, and subprocessor list are ready up front and the BAA executes in under a day, LunaBill is built to clear vendor review fast rather than dragging on for months.
Is LunaBill enterprise grade?
Yes. LunaBill is HIPAA compliant with enterprise grade security, SOC 2 Type I certified (Type II in progress), and carries a full audit trail on every agent action.
Where can I verify your compliance posture?
At the public trust center, trust.lunabill.com, which shows live control status, plus the security packet and SOC 2 report shared during security review.
Do agents post back into our EHR?
Only what you scope. Agents read claim data by default; write-back, such as ERAs and call notes, is explicitly scoped and configured with your team during onboarding, with a full audit trail.
How do we get started with LunaBill?
Book a short demo. We show Luna working a claim on your payer mix and EHR, sign a BAA, and scope a free pilot on your actual backlog. Most customers are piloting within 48 hours.
How fast can we go live?
Most customers are piloting on their own claims within 48 hours, with a BAA signed in under a day. Because there is no new software for staff to learn, there is no long training cycle.
What do you need from us to run a pilot?
A signed BAA and scoped, read access to a sample of claims in the systems you already use. No new software for your team to learn, and no PHI moves before the BAA is in place.
What happens on the first call?
A short demo. We show Luna working a claim on your payer mix and EHR, walk through security and compliance, and scope a free pilot on your backlog. Bring whoever needs to see it, including IT and compliance.
How does the free pilot work?
We work a sample of your real worklist through LunaBill on our dime, then show you the outcomes and the cost per claim on your own claims before any commitment. Pricing stays performance based, so there is nothing to lose.
How long does the BAA take?
The BAA is typically executed in under a day. No PHI moves to LunaBill until it is signed.
Who should be involved from our side?
Revenue cycle leadership to scope the work, plus IT and compliance for vendor onboarding. Bringing security to the first call is encouraged, so review happens up front rather than later.
Is there a long onboarding or training period?
No. There is no new application for your billers to learn, so onboarding is about integration and access rather than staff training. Most customers are piloting within 48 hours.
Can we start with a small subset of claims?
Yes. The pilot is scoped on a sample of your actual worklist, so you can start small, see the recovery and cost per claim on your own claims, and expand from there.
How do we book a demo?
You can book a demo directly from the site, or email suhail@lunabill.com. No PHI is required to book, and the first call includes a walkthrough on your real claims.
What is the fastest path to seeing results?
The free pilot. We work a sample of your backlog on our dime and show you the recovery on your own claims, usually within days of signing the BAA, before you commit to anything.
Do we need to move PHI before we commit?
Only under a signed BAA, and only for the pilot scope. No PHI touches LunaBill systems until the BAA is executed, which typically happens in under a day.
Can we expand LunaBill to more of our workflow later?
Yes. Many customers start with a narrow, high-value workflow such as claim status calls and expand into portal checks, denials, appeals, and full AR follow-up once Luna is integrated and trusted.
What does implementation involve?
Signing a BAA, scoping access to the systems you already run, and configuring what the agents read and write back. There is no new software to deploy for your staff, and it is included in the performance fee.
Who is LunaBill built for?
LunaBill is built for hospital and health system revenue cycle teams that need to work a growing backlog without growing headcount, and for RCM and BPO firms that want to scale client portfolios without scaling payroll.
Is LunaBill for hospitals or clinics?
LunaBill focuses on hospitals and health systems and the RCM and BPO firms that serve them. Its core work is the hospital revenue cycle: payer calls, portals, denials, appeals, and AR follow-up.
Do RCM firms use LunaBill?
Yes. RCM and BPO firms deploy LunaBill across client accounts to scale portfolios without scaling payroll, with a full audit trail on every claim they can hand to the client.
Can rural or smaller hospitals use LunaBill?
Yes. Smaller and rural hospitals often have the least leverage against payers and the most to lose from delayed revenue. Because pricing is performance based with nothing upfront, LunaBill is accessible without a large capital outlay.
Who is the buyer inside a hospital?
Revenue cycle leadership is the economic buyer, with billers, claim-follow-up teams, and AR staff as the primary users, and IT and compliance involved in vendor onboarding.
Is LunaBill useful for a CFO or finance leader?
Yes. LunaBill ties directly to cash: recovered collections, lower cost per claim, and aged receivables worked down. Because you pay a share of what is actually collected, the finance case is concrete rather than a productivity promise.
Is LunaBill for billers and AR staff?
Yes, as their teammate. Billers and AR staff stop holding for payers and shift to reviewing outcomes and handling escalations and complex appeals, while the agents do the repetitive volume.
Does LunaBill work for large health systems?
Yes. LunaBill's reference customer, Nutex Health, is a 24 campus U.S. health system. Because the agents run in parallel, LunaBill scales to large claim volumes without proportional headcount.
Is LunaBill for patient scheduling or intake?
No. LunaBill is deliberately focused on the financial workflow, the revenue cycle, rather than patient access tasks like scheduling, intake, or general patient calls. Its advantage is deep revenue cycle expertise.
What size of team benefits most?
Any revenue cycle team facing a backlog it cannot fully staff. LunaBill is most valuable where claim volume outstrips the hours a team can spend on the phone, so lower-priority and aged claims are getting left behind.
Do BPOs benefit from LunaBill?
Yes. BPOs use LunaBill to break the link between portfolio size and payroll, keeping turnaround and quality consistent across client accounts instead of swinging with staffing.
Is LunaBill relevant if we already outsource billing?
Yes. LunaBill can reduce dependence on large outsourced billing workforces and high-percentage collection agencies by automating the mechanical follow-up work, with cost tied to collections rather than to seats.
Why does hospital revenue affect patient care?
Hospitals that collect what they are owed are better able to stay financially viable and keep serving their communities. When a local or rural hospital is destabilized by unrecovered revenue, patients can end up traveling much farther for care.
Do you work with health systems on Epic and GoRev?
Yes. Nutex Health, a 24 campus health system, runs Epic and GoRev, and LunaBill works inside both. It also runs inside Cerner and clearinghouses like Waystar and Availity.
Who makes LunaBill?
LunaBill is a product of LunaHealth Technologies, Inc. It is an AI-native revenue cycle automation company focused on hospitals and RCM firms, and it is backed by Y Combinator.
Who founded LunaBill?
LunaBill was built by Suhail Parry (cofounder and CEO) and David Day (cofounder and CTO), operators and engineers who shipped revenue cycle software before and saw exactly where it broke.
Is LunaBill backed by Y Combinator?
Yes. LunaBill (LunaHealth Technologies, Inc.) is backed by Y Combinator.
What is LunaBill's mission?
LunaBill treats revenue recovery as infrastructure for keeping hospitals viable. Stronger revenue operations help providers, especially smaller and rural ones, stay open and keep care locally accessible, so billing is framed as a patient-access story, not just a back-office one.
What category is LunaBill in?
Healthcare AI and revenue cycle management: specifically AI-native accounts receivable automation for hospitals, including voice agents for payer calls and end-to-end claim-resolution automation.
What does “AI-native” mean for LunaBill?
It means the system is designed around the outcome, an accurate claim that gets paid, rather than digitizing paper-era front, middle, and back office silos. LunaBill rebuilds the workflow instead of layering AI on top of legacy structure.
What is LunaBill's long-term vision?
The long-term thesis is that hospital revenue cycle work becomes largely automated and rebuilt as an AI-native system, with far fewer manual payer calls and claims resolved end to end, rather than preserving decades of technical debt and departmental handoffs.
Why did LunaBill start with voice?
Voice is the wedge, not the identity. Payer phone calls are a painful, high-volume, measurable workflow, so automating them earns trust and access. From there, LunaBill expands into the surrounding revenue cycle work where it has the deepest advantage.
What is LunaBill's competitive moat?
Not just access to an AI model. The moat is revenue cycle domain expertise, hospital relationships and trust, workflow integration, operational reliability, responsiveness, and completed compliance and IT onboarding, which together are hard for a general-purpose model to replace.
How is LunaBill different from a big incumbent vendor?
A focused company can solve a revenue cycle team's problem in days rather than the months a massive, multi-product incumbent might take. LunaBill is built to be fast, responsive, and personally accountable to the revenue cycle buyer.
How is LunaBill different from RPA bots?
RPA replays a fixed, recorded sequence of clicks, so it breaks when a portal changes and cannot make phone calls or read unstructured denials. LunaBill's AI agents reason about each claim, adapt to change, call payers, and work denials end to end.
Can RPA make payer phone calls?
No. RPA operates on a screen and cannot place calls, hold, or navigate an IVR. LunaBill's voice agents do exactly that, which is where much of manual AR time is actually spent.
LunaBill vs offshore billing teams?
Offshoring moves labor cost but not the ceiling: throughput still tracks headcount, and quality and turnaround swing with staffing. LunaBill's agents run in parallel around the clock, and you pay a share of collections rather than for seats.
LunaBill vs a collection agency?
Collection agencies take a large share of what they recover and only after a claim has aged. LunaBill works claims before they age out, so fewer accounts ever reach the costly collection stage and you keep more of what you are owed.
LunaBill vs hiring more billers?
Every biller you add comes with the same minutes per claim, the same hold time, and the same eight-hour ceiling, and labor is expensive. LunaBill adds capacity without adding headcount, working the backlog in parallel.
Does LunaBill replace our billing team?
No. The agents do the mechanical volume, holds, portal pulls, and routine resubmissions, so your team stays in seat and moves to escalations, complex appeals, and patient-facing work.
How is LunaBill different from a generic voice AI vendor?
LunaBill is a healthcare company that uses voice, not a general-purpose voice platform. Its advantage is revenue cycle workflow knowledge, payer and hospital context, and integrations, not training voice models for every industry.
Why not just connect a hospital to a general AI model?
A general model lacks payer and hospital context, workflow logic, integrations, operational reliability, and compliance processes. Those layers, plus customer relationships, are what turn raw model intelligence into a product that actually resolves claims.
How does LunaBill compare to Epic's revenue cycle tools?
Epic is a powerful incumbent, but its scale can mean a specific revenue cycle issue takes months to resolve, and its architecture can preserve old front, middle, and back office silos. LunaBill is an AI-native workflow built to move fast on the cash-flow problems hospitals need solved now.
LunaBill vs denial management software?
Traditional denial software still relies on your staff to do the calling, portal work, and appeals. LunaBill's agents do that work themselves, end to end, and are billed on collections recovered rather than as a license.
Is LunaBill build-vs-buy for us?
Building this in house means recreating payer and portal integrations, call automation, denial logic, compliance, and reliability, then maintaining it as payers change. LunaBill delivers that as a managed, performance-based service with nothing upfront.
What makes LunaBill hard to replace once deployed?
Once Luna is integrated across portals, calls, actions, and tracking, and has cleared compliance and IT review, it is embedded in the workflow rather than being a standalone endpoint, and it can expand into adjacent revenue cycle steps.
