Revenue AI for specialty medicine

Note. Code. Claim.
One AI. Zero handoffs.

Zera turns each clinical encounter into a coded, payer-ready claim in one pass — capturing the note, assigning the codes, and building the claim without a chain of people re-keying the same visit. Every code traces back to the exact words that justify it.

Validated on the live note, before signature · fixed in the lane, not scrubbed downstream

The problem

Revenue leaks in the gaps between people.

In most practices, a single visit is handled by a physician, a scribe, a coder, and a biller — each re-reading the last person's work. Every handoff loses context and adds a place for the claim to go wrong. Payers are getting stricter, and the math is unforgiving.

Why now

Most denials start upstream — in documentation and coding — long before a biller ever sees the claim. The old fix was to add people to each handoff and scrub claims on the way out. Modern language and reasoning models let us do the opposite: catch the problem on the live note and let the provider resolve it before they sign — while the patient is still in the exam lane, when the fix costs nothing. That's Zera.

What you get

A documentation-intelligence hub, not another point tool.

Zera unifies the front of the revenue cycle — where clean claims are actually won or lost.

Zera Platform

Live

Capture the visit, generate a specialty-aware note, and get the codes, modifiers, and J-code unit math that go with it — with gaps flagged on the live note so the provider can fix them before they sign. Reviewed, approved, and handed off as a claim-ready record. Built for the complexity of specialty medicine, not the average office visit.

Full-cycle RCM

Built · Soon

The claim and RCM engines — denial analytics, A/R, and end-to-end claims — are already built, coming to the platform next on the same clean documentation data.

Traceable truth

Every code points back to the words that justify it.

Zera doesn't ask you to trust a black box. Every generated code links to the exact, timestamped moment in the encounter it came from — click a code, hear the audio, read the line. That's what makes it defensible in an audit, and what earns a clinician's sign-off.

Word-level provenance

Timestamped transcript tied to a synced audio player. Nothing is asserted without a source.

Physician in control

Zera drafts; the clinician approves. Edits flow back through the record, not around it.

Audit-ready by default

Because coding is grounded in documentation, the claim carries its own justification with it.

Security & trust

Clinical and financial data demands trust.

Zera is engineered for protected health information from the ground up — so how your data is handled is never an open question.

BAA with every practice

We sign a Business Associate Agreement before any protected health information is processed — no exceptions.

SOC 2 Type I certified

Independently audited security controls, with SOC 2 Type II in progress.

Isolated by tenant

Each organization's data is separated with customer-scoped keys, deployed US-only.

Your data stays yours

We never use your data to train shared models. A private, per-provider loop personalizes Zera to each clinician.

Audit-defensible

A complete, timestamped trail from the first word spoken to the final code.

Provider in control

Role-based access, and the clinician always has final sign-off on every note and code.

Who it's for

Purpose-built for ophthalmology. Retina at the tip of the spear.

Ophthalmology is the most documentation-dense surgical specialty, with one of the highest concentrations of uncaptured Medicare Advantage risk-adjustment data. We go deep here first — and lead with retina, where the coding is hardest and the dollars are largest: high-cost injectables, J-code unit math, laterality modifiers, and frequent visits.

Near-term focus

Retina

Purpose-built injection workflow — anti-VEGF documentation, J-code units, and laterality.

Ophthalmology

Glaucoma

Laterality enforcement and diagnostic-test coding logic.

Ophthalmology

Cataract / Refractive

Pre- and post-op chart fidelity and surgical coding.

Ophthalmology

Comprehensive

VA, IOP, slit-lamp, fundus, and gonioscopy captured cleanly.

Same engine, next

Cardiology is next — the same engine, with vocabulary, workflows, and payer rules purpose-built per specialty.
