These tools are claimed to help Cedar expedite the development of large language model (LLM) in its Cedar Suite.

They help educate and guide patients by providing responses to their questions regarding patients’ financial responsibilities, in addition to facilitating personalised communication between patients, payers, and providers.

This is expected to increase transparency in the healthcare billing process.

Cedar engineering head Kinshuk Mishra said: “Paying a medical bill is confusing at best, and a financial burden at worst. That’s why our mission — to empower us all to easily and affordably pursue the care we need — has always been supported by a focus on simple experiences, powered by data.
