""We've been able to very effectively use AI in areas where a human should not be manually administering things that they otherwise would be," said Gangopadhyay. "We quote thousands of groups a week. In any other company, you're getting quoted these PDFs that are 12, 15, 20 pages long. And they're parsing through these PDFs manually...We've fully automated and optimized that process where our underwriters and our sales people are only doing the pieces that we need a human to be doing.""
"Ty Wang, Angle Health CEO and cofounder, said that while there's been "an explosion of new ways of receiving medical services" like telehealth, digital pharmacies, and chronic disease management programs-these benefits mostly accrue to employees of large tech companies or major white-collar firms. "These services are still largely inaccessible to the vast majority of Americans," he said. In 2019, Wang cofounded Angle Health, an AI-driven healthcare benefits startup, with fellow Palantir alum Anirban Gangopadhyay."
Employer healthcare costs are projected to see the largest increase in 15 years in 2026, amplifying economic and political strain. Small businesses and their employees face fragile positions amid rising costs, limited broker support, poor transparency, and little bargaining power. Angle Health, an AI-driven benefits startup founded in 2019, has raised a $134 million Series B and serves over 2,600 small-business employers in 44 states. Angle Health automates insurance quoting and administrative processes using AI to reduce manual PDF parsing and restrict human involvement to tasks requiring judgment, aiming to broaden access to modern health services.
