About SOAFEE
We Built SOAFEE Because Healthcare Shouldn't Require a Decoder Ring
SOAFEE is built for patients, families, and providers — together. The American healthcare system is the most expensive in the world, and the least transparent. We built an Applied AI platform that puts the same intelligence in your hands — whether you're uninsured, on a high-deductible plan, running a small business, or just tired of being overcharged.
Our Mission
Leverage and apply AI so that healthcare consumers can quickly understand their options, negotiate better charges and rates, identify alternative facilities, and audit their medical bills for duplicate charges, unperformed services, or coding errors.
Our Vision
A healthcare market where AI-enabled transparency creates real competition — and drives costs down for everyone.

Why Now
The tailwinds behind SOAFEE
Regulatory Openness
The No Surprises Act and CMS Transparency in Coverage rules are forcing providers to publish machine-readable pricing data.
Proposed Reforms
Reforms to redirect ACA subsidies directly to consumers via HSAs would push self-pay spending past $625 billion annually.
Technological Feasibility
AI in document intelligence and language models now enables cost auditing and clinical navigation at scale.
Consumer Shift
Direct-to-consumer drug models are proving the appetite for transparent pricing.
