Coding Quality Advisor

About Fathom

Fathom is on a mission to eliminate the billions of dollars of administrative waste in US healthcare. We're starting with one of its most expensive, labor-intensive workflows: medical coding. Using AI, we automate the translation of clinical notes into the billing codes used for provider reimbursement—a process that costs US hospitals $15B+ annually, plus tens of billions more in errors and denied claims.

The result is healthcare that spends less time and money on administration and more on what actually matters: patients. KLAS named us the #1 emerging technology for reducing the cost of care, and many of the nation's largest health systems, health plans, and physician groups rely on us to do it.

We're a Series B company backed by Lightspeed, Founders Fund, and CVS Health—taking on hard problems at the frontier of AI and healthcare, where getting it right has real consequences. We're scaling fast and looking for exceptional people who want their work to matter.
