Backbone started with a simple idea: getting paid for care shouldn’t be a months-long abrasive loop. What began with the team embedded within revenue integrity organizations — watching great clinics allocate time and resources to firefighting — has grown into a company building the verification layer that makes claims provably correct before they’re submitted.

Today, Backbone is backed by a growing coalition of domain experts across Stanford AI, seasoned RCM operators, and practicing physicians. We're aligned around rebuilding healthcare payments on proof, so providers & payers can trust the outcome the first time.
