Candid Health CEO: RCM Is a Data Engineering Problem, Measured by Touchless Claim Rate
HealthcareAIGuy · x · 2026-10-01
Interview with Candid Health CEO Nick Perry, ex-Palantir. Key points: RCM is a massive, fragmented space with thousands of payer rules and pre-AI billing software; Candid rebuilds billing around automation rather than layering agents on legacy systems; Perry frames RCM as a data engineering problem where LLMs are only one tool, measures autonomy via 'touchless claim rate,' sees proprietary claims context as a data moat, and believes Candid will look more like Stripe than Salesforce.
