Penelope Health turns constantly changing U.S. health-insurer coverage rules into structured, real-time policy intelligence delivered through an API and web app for healthcare providers and payers.
Healthcare coverage policies, prior-authorization requirements, medical-necessity criteria, and coding rules are scattered across thousands of sources, change continuously, and create administrative work and claim delays. The $100 million commitment is intended to fund new products, broader insurer and policy coverage, and moving coverage decisions upstream, while Penelope says its platform already covers policies for more than 200 million Americans and over 15,000 procedure and drug codes.
