to bringing price transparency to

Our vision

Just one in six patients know the cost of care before treatment, while 20% of US healthcare provider spend goes towards financial admin.
We founded Fuse to change this—using advances in AI and automation technology to determine accurate benefits, detect underpayments, and ensure transparency for all. We want to build a healthcare system where patients receive clear cost estimates before treatment, and providers are always paid what they are contractually owed.
