The morning the work is already done.
What it feels like when the inbox is sorted, the appeals are drafted, and the first sentence you read is 'I've handled four overnight. One needs you.'
You arrive at seven. The lobby is quiet because the lobby is always quiet at seven; the noise begins later, when the first patient is fifteen minutes early and the second is on the phone asking whether the office took her insurance. You set down your bag. You open the laptop. The screen has been waiting for you, in the way screens do — patient, indifferent, full of work.
On a normal morning, this is the moment when the day becomes weather. Forty-one prior auths in the queue. Three appeals from last week, none with a reason yet. UHC has denied an MRI again, this time for Hernandez, who tore her meniscus in March and has been waiting since. Your senior biller gave notice last Friday. The replacement is interviewing on Thursday. The partners have noticed the A/R aging report and have, for the first time in your three years here, not made a joke about it. You drink your coffee. You do not check the email yet. You know what the email will say.
We built Ekavi for the morning that follows.
The one where the prior auth queue moved while you were asleep — drafted, submitted, retried, resolved, in thirty-six hours instead of eight days. Where the three UHC denials that arrived this week with code CO-197 have already been clustered into one appeal, with the prior-PA reference cited and the policy revision date noted. Where the codes from yesterday's encounters have been pulled out of your scribe's notes and queued for the biller to review — the modifier 25 you would have missed surfaced explicitly. Where the patient whose plan changed mid-year has been caught by the receptionist on the phone and rebooked into a slot that wouldn't have been filled. Where the in-basket your physician used to open with dread now reads two items long instead of fifty-two.
And the first sentence you read is a sentence in plain English:
I've handled four overnight. One needs you.
That is the product. The rest is restraint.
What restraint looks like
A bone canvas. Charcoal ink. Hairlines instead of cards. Numbers that read as numbers because they are set in a monospaced face, lining up like a ledger. No exclamation marks. No "AI-powered." No notification chimes, because a chime is the wrong response to denial number thirty-eight of the morning. The interface does not narrate itself. The mark beside drafted work tells you who did it. The work tells you what it is.
When Ekavi is sure, it sends, and you see the line: Sent. Paid in seven days expected. When Ekavi is not sure, it pauses, and you see: I'm not sure. Take a look. One sentence for why. Then it stops talking, because there is nothing more useful to say.
The audit log records every action. The model. The confidence. The reason. The PHI fields touched. Seven-year retention. CSV export. Signed PDF. Forensic-grade not because forensic-grade is fashionable, but because in 2026 it is what the auditor will ask for, and what the partner asks for in the parking lot when she has just heard that an AI tool somewhere else made an unflattering recommendation about a patient on chemotherapy.
What it does for the practice manager
Thirteen hours a week, per the AMA's 2024 prior authorization survey, is what every physician in the country spends on prior auth alone. That number compresses on Ekavi to roughly ninety minutes a week of practice-manager review — the rest is drafted, submitted, retried, resolved without a sentence from you. The hours come back in pieces: the twenty-three minutes you do not lose to UHC's hold music on each call; the hour you do not spend on the same appeal letter you wrote three times last month for the same payer-code combination.
The recovered dollars come back in pieces too. The denial that, three months ago, would have aged into a write-off because nobody had time to chase it — that one comes back, clustered with the other two with the same code, drafted as one appeal. The eligibility on tomorrow's schedule that your EHR was wrong about — caught the night before. The Aetna claim that was paying within four days when you thought it was taking ten — surfaced on Friday afternoon, in the one-page report you forward to your owner before Monday's meeting.
None of this is fixable by working harder. None of it is fixable by hiring faster. The thing that fixes it is having a colleague whose only job is the work in front of you, that reads quickly and types quickly and stops talking when the work is done.
What we are asking for
Five practices. Ninety days. No charge. We are not running a sales pipeline. We are not asking for a logo for a website. We are asking for five practice managers — independent, ambulatory, two to forty-nine MDs — who are willing to use Ekavi for a season, talk to us once a week, and tell us when something is wrong. In return: free use through launch, direct access to the founder, your input in the roadmap in writing, and the right to walk away with your data and a clean offboarding at any time.
The number we eventually charge is one the first five help us decide. We have opinions, but we would rather hear yours first. Pricing made before the product earns it is the kind of pricing that becomes an objection in the parking lot.
