About 100ms
100ms is building AI agents that automate complex patient access workflows in U.S. healthcare—starting with benefits verification, prior authorisation, referral intake, appointment scheduling, and patient intake. We help care teams reduce delays and administrative burden so that patients can start treatment faster.
Our automation platform combines deep healthcare domain knowledge with LLM-based agents and robust ops infrastructure.
We are fully HIPAA-compliant with secure, U.S.-based data storage, and we serve hospitals, health systems, payers, and specialty pharmacies across the country.
