Artificial intelligence-native platform Assured secured $19 million in series A funding to automate provider credentialing and enrollment with AI agents.
Insight Partners led the funding round, with participation from existing investors First Round Capital and Kindred Ventures.
“Across healthcare, provider credentialing and enrollment remain some of the most painful and expensive parts of scaling,” said Teddie Wardi, Insight Partners managing director, in a statement. “The tools built for this category function as systems of record that leave the actual work to people. Assured is the first platform we have seen that performs the work itself. That shift, from software that tracks a process to software that runs it, is why we led this round.”
Rahul Shivkumar, Assured co-founder and president, told Fierce Healthcare the company plans to use the funding to expand its research and development and go-to-market teams.
“We have a strong pull from our existing customers and from the market for new products, so we really want to build those quickly,” Shivkumar said.
Shivkumar said Assured has raised $25 million to date, following the company’s September 2025 $6 million seed funding round.
Launched in 2024, Assured offers an AI-powered platform for provider network management that was built for healthcare organizations to onboard providers.
It now works with more than 100 healthcare organizations, executives say. Its platform works directly inside credentialing and payer enrollment processes, with its agents verifying data against more than 2,000 primary sources. Provider credentialing is 30% faster using the solution, executives say.
Assured is also an NCQA-certified Credentials Verification Organization—the industry's gold standard for credentialing quality. The company serves health systems like Houston Methodist to digital health companies including Tono Health, Blossom Health and Birches Health.
Feedback from customers has been “overwhelmingly positive,” according to Shivkumar, who notes that customers want platforms that offer multiple solutions. The company plans to help healthcare organizations automate “more of their complicated workflows,” like privileging, in early 2027, he said.
“We help them not just onboard their providers faster to the platform, but we also help them streamline a lot of the insurance processes. So, getting their providers billable, so they can see patients faster," Shivkumar said.
