About

Flax Health streamlines revenue-critical workflows for skilled nursing facilities. Our AI extracts insights from clinical records to support three key areas: referral processing, patient intake, and claims appeals. We help admissions teams analyze hospital discharge packets to identify high-value patients, pre-fill large portions of the MDS form to speed up intake, and auto-generate appeals when claims are denied—using clinical documentation to justify coding and treatment. Our team has deep professional and academic expertise in workflow automation and applying artificial intelligence to clinical data. If you want to see how it works or try it out yourself, visit us or shoot us a note! We're excited to find ways to support you.
