Hospitals shouldn’t have to fight for payment.
U.S. hospitals are under relentless pressure, facing staffing shortages, reimbursement complexity, and rising operational costs, all leading to dangerously thin margins. In fact, 39% of U.S. hospitals had negative operating margins in 2023 (KFF). Further compounding this challenge, 11% of inpatient hospital claims are initially denied (Crowe), with 60% never resubmitted, leaving over $260 billion annually forfeited to preventable denials and underpayments (Experian).
When reimbursements stall or fail, hospitals are forced to close beds, cut critical staff, and reduce services, ultimately eroding the quality of care our communities depend upon.
At Orchid Healthcare Technologies, we exist to return owed revenue to hospitals, enabling clinicians to focus on patients, not paperwork.
Empowering Healthcare Efficiency
Hospitals are essential to community well-being. Orchid was founded with a clear mission: every accurate hospital claim should be paid the first time.
To achieve this, we developed CodeGuard: a patent-pending HIPAA-compliant solution designed specifically for hospitals. CodeGuard streamlines medical coding and claim submissions by validating encounter accuracy before claims reach payers. It rigorously reviews the medical record, insurance payer rules, and regulatory guidelines, ensuring claims are clean, compliant, and precisely coded.
The result is increased payer acceptance, accelerated reimbursements, reduced accounts receivable days, and financial stability for hospitals committed to serving their communities.
