{"id":101622,"title":"Perspectives Health","tagline":"AI to Run Behavioral Health Clinics Better","body":"Hey YC.\n\nMy name is Eshan. I’ve spent the last 5 years trying to address what I think is the most pressing problem in the country — addiction and mental health. Before YC, I ran a group doing on the ground overdose prevention work across the country. I also worked at the White House on Drug Policy.\n\n**Insurance companies love to scrutinize behavioral health treatment**, partially because it’s expensive (a single 30-day residential treatment episode can cost upwards of $50,000), and partially because proving medical necessity for behavioral health is a subjective process.\n\nBut behavioral health care _is_ medically necessary. **Drug overdose is the single biggest cause of death for young people in the US.** And there are too many stories of insurers denying people care, only for those individuals to later lose their lives to overdose.\n\nWe were in the summer ‘25 YC batch. Since then, we’ve been working with a small group of customers to develop a new product. I’m excited to announce it today.\\\n\\\n**Introducing: Perspectives Reclaim**\n\nBecause they’re under so much pressure from payors, behavioral health treatment programs currently spend an immense amount of resources and staff generating documentation and auditing it to be perfect. \\\n\\\nReclaim solves this by\n\n1. Reading tens of thousands of pages of charts every night\n2. Finding issues that can lead to insurance denials or other issues\n3. Tracking down which clinician made the error and emailing back and forth with them until it’s solved.  \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=101622\u0026key=user_uploads/2329278/a7ccf9c3-cf38-409a-a8d4-9c4421623a19)\n\n\\\nIn each of our pilots, we’ve flagged and resolved hundreds of issues, from missing documents to drug tests that weren’t happening when they were supposed to, **leading to more approvals from payors, higher revenue for our clinics, and better outcomes for patients.**\n\nReclaim’s agent can also help provide evidence when fighting against payor clawbacks and can generate the insurance documentation used to argue for more days of care.\n\nIn the last 4 weeks since launching Reclaim, we’ve gone from **0 —\u003e $250k cARR.** Our vision is to replace the $30B spent on the financial and administrative services that keep these clinics afloat and give that capacity back to care.\n\n**Asks**:\n\n1. Intros to our ICP: we’re looking for multi-site behavioral health/SUD treatment centers that deal with commercial insurance.\n2. We’re currently hiring a senior software engineer to help us scale. Any intros here would be appreciated.\n3. Investor intros are always appreciated as well.\n\nHere’s our launch video: \u003chttps://youtu.be/vvFe7AF3mUo\u003e","slug":"QR4-perspectives-health","created_at":"2026-05-20T03:01:54.820Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T04:18:05.652Z","total_vote_count":2,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QR4-perspectives-health","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":30778,"name":"Perspectives Health","slug":"perspectives-health","url":"https://perspectiveshealth.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d4d717434657a084785d53a7ab208f3a1b202dae.png","batch":"Summer 2025","industry":"Healthcare","tags":["Workflow Automation","Healthcare","Mental Health","Healthcare IT"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30778"}}
