Splendor targets a problem that costs healthcare providers an estimated $15 billion annually in administrative overhead. Billing departments and clinical staff spent hours daily on phone calls and portal navigation to verify patient coverage and obtain prior authorizations—work that delayed patient care and frustrated staff.
Problem Clarity
Splendor targets a problem that costs healthcare providers an estimated $15 billion annually in administrative overhead. Billing departments and clinical staff spent hours daily on phone calls and portal navigation to verify patient coverage and obtain prior authorizations—work that delayed patient care and frustrated staff. The pain was most acute for mid-sized practices and hospital networks handling hundreds of daily insurance interactions, where manual processes created bottlenecks that directly impacted revenue cycle times. The problem was measurable: practices could quantify wasted labor hours, delayed claim submissions, and denied authorizations due to incomplete prior auth requests. Before Splendor, providers relied on manual phone calls, clunky insurance portals, or hiring additional staff—all expensive and error-prone. Early validation came when beta users reported 60-70% reductions in time spent on benefits verification and a measurable decrease in prior authorization denials. Practices immediately recognized ROI through recovered staff capacity and faster claim processing, signaling strong product-market fit before full launch.
