About Nirvana

At Nirvana, we are revolutionizing the way benefit verification is handled. Recognizing its convoluted and opaque nature, we are dedicated to bringing transparency to the costs and coverage of healthcare. By leveraging machine learning and AI, we have developed tools that enable care providers across various specialties to seamlessly check coverage, from patient intake through continuous monitoring, saving significant time and resources.

Our mission extends beyond facilitating access to care; we aim to alleviate financial anxiety for those seeking medical assistance and for providers. Backed by Northzone, Inspired Capital, Eniac Ventures, Surface Ventures, and other leading investors, Nirvana is on a rapid growth trajectory. We serve some of the largest clients in healthcare, including Lifestance Health, Modern Health, and Headspace, and have expanded beyond behavioral health into physical therapy, intensive outpatient, primary care, and beyond.

Join us as we continue to transform healthcare, making it more transparent and accessible for everyone.
