Anterior closed a $40 million financing round to scale its AI platform that automates administrative prior‑authorization and care‑approval workflows for health plans. The company says the system can turn approvals around in minutes instead of weeks, promising cost reductions and reduced administrative burden for clinicians and payers. Investors backed the capital to support product expansion, payer integrations and validation against existing authorization workflows. The raise highlights continued investor interest in workflow automation and applied AI in healthcare administration rather than direct clinical decision‑making.
