What You Should Know: 

– Osigu, an AI-powered platform for healthcare claims and revenue management in Latin America and the Caribbean, has raised $25 million in Series B funding led by IDC Ventures, with strategic participation from Visa. 

– Visa’s strategic investment and partnership will drive the development of real-time payment solutions for healthcare providers.

Addressing Healthcare Payment Inefficiencies

The healthcare sector in Latin America and the Caribbean faces significant challenges with payment and claims processing. These inefficiencies lead to delayed payments, high administrative costs, and a lack of financial transparency, impacting both healthcare providers and patients.

Osigu’s AI-Powered Platform

Headquartered in Miami, Osigu has established itself as a leader in healthcare technology in Latin America. Osigu’s platform is the first fully digital, AI-powered, end-to-end revenue cycle and claims management solution in Latin America. The platform:

  • Connects Key Stakeholders: Seamlessly connects healthcare providers, payers, and patients.
  • Reduces Errors: Leverages AI and automation to minimize errors and improve data accuracy.
  • Enhances Information Flow: Streamlines communication and data exchange between stakeholders.
  • Addresses Industry Challenges: Tackles key issues such as financial and operational inefficiencies, lack of standardization, and traceability.

Visa’s Strategic Investment and Partnership

Visa’s investment in Osigu underscores its commitment to driving innovation in healthcare payments. The partnership between the two companies will leverage Visa’s advanced payment infrastructure and Osigu’s deep expertise in the LATAM healthcare market to develop solutions that optimize and automate healthcare payments in real-time.

This collaboration will introduce innovative payment solutions that:

  • Accelerate Payments: Facilitate real-time payments to healthcare providers, improving cash flow and reducing financial strain.
  • Enhance Transparency: Provide providers with comprehensive payment data and insights into payment schedules.
  • Improve Efficiency: Reduce errors and administrative overhead associated with traditional payment processes.

Global Footprint

This innovation has driven its rapid expansion into major regional markets, including Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and most recently, Brazil. In 2023 alone, Osigu processed 1.5 million transactions, reaching a GMV of over US$650M.

“Our partnership with Visa is a game-changer for the healthcare sector in Latin America. By digitizing and automating payment processes, including the adoption of real-time payments, we are addressing the root problems in the industry and empowering providers and payers to focus on delivering high-quality care and efficient operations, confident that payments will be timely and accurate,” said Fernando Botrán, Founder and CEO of Osigu.
