LateralCare signs six US hospital associations to offer its AI revenue cycle platform

LateralCare, which sells AI software for hospital billing and revenue cycle management, has signed partnerships with six US healthcare associations, according to a press release. They are the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council, the Hospital Council of Northern & Central California, the Michigan State Medical Society, the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council, the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association and the South Florida Hospital & Healthcare Association.

The associations will give their members access to revenue alai, LateralCare's platform. It uses agentic AI across contracts, claims, billing, denials and audits to flag reimbursement risks earlier, prevent avoidable claim denials and improve billing accuracy, with people reviewing its decisions. Hospitals can use single functions or the whole platform.

"Healthcare organizations don't need another technology promising transformation," said CEO William Reau. The release does not say how many hospitals have signed up through the associations or what the deals are worth.
