Perspectives Health is building an AI system that fights insurance denials in behavioral health. We work with some of the best addiction-treatment and mental health programs around the country to protect their revenue and keep patients from losing access to life-saving care.
We are growing quickly, approaching profitability, and our backend needs to move from a scrappy early setup into something more mature without adding unnecessary process or complexity. We want someone who can make good infrastructure decisions for our stage.
