Two different bets on getting you paid.

Works with everything you already run.
Altair runs on top of every EHR, practice-management system, and clearinghouse on the market, including yours. No rip-and-replace, no new software, no exceptions.
Runs the whole cycle: eligibility and benefits, prior authorization, medical necessity and documentation, payer-specific claim scrubbing, submission, claim tracking, remittance, autonomous denials, payer-specific appeals, and CFO-grade financial forecasting and underpayment detection.
$54,000 leaks every 90 days.
That is the revenue a typical practice loses to denials and underpayments each quarter, and most of it is recoverable. Altair is built to win it back, claim by claim.

Does Altair replace Tebra?
No. Altair is an autonomous, end-to-end RCM platform that runs on top of the systems you already use, including Tebra. It runs the whole cycle, from eligibility and prior authorization through scrubbing, submission, and remittance to autonomous denials and appeals, plus CFO-grade forecasting and per-payer transparency. Keep your PM and billing software; Altair works the payer-facing steps where revenue leaks.
How does Altair connect to Tebra?
Altair plugs into your EHR and clearinghouse with no rip-and-replace and no new software for your team to run. Most practices are connected in days.
Is Altair HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Altair is HIPAA compliant. Review our security posture and controls in detail at our Trust Center.
Will this replace my billers?
No. Altair is a co-pilot that takes the repetitive denial and appeal work off your billers, not their jobs. Your team reviews and approves, and spends its time on the exceptions that actually need a person.
How is Altair different from Tebra's denial tracking?
Tebra tracks denials and lets your team correct and resubmit them; its AI denial tools are still on the roadmap. Altair is autonomous and works the whole cycle on top of your stack today. On the denial side specifically, it works denials the moment they land, drafts payer-specific appeals, and learns each payer from every worked denial, today.
What financial visibility does Altair add on top of Tebra?
Altair gives RCM leaders and CFOs forward financial intelligence Tebra's reporting does not: it forecasts collections by payer, scores each claim's probability of payment, shows per-payer reimbursement against expected rates, and flags underpayments and why. You see what you will collect, not just what already cleared.
How long does it take to get started?
Days. Altair connects to what you already run, so going live is a matter of days, not a platform migration.
