Protego Health builds AI-powered tools to prevent and overturn denied medical insurance claims.
Protego’s mission is to ensure patients and providers aren’t stuck paying for care that should be covered by insurance. Our founder started Protego in 2023, inspired by his brother’s experience with unfair denials over eight surgeries for Ulcerative Colitis that left him with $1 million in bills.
There are $750 billion in annually denied medical claims in the U.S. While health insurance companies utilize algorithms and system edits to deny claims (Lawsuits: Cigna, Humana & United, physician practices rely on labor to reclaim this revenue. While over half of denied claims are reversible, nearly two-thirds go uncontested due to limited resources and the high cost of appeals - sometimes up to 100 times more than issuing the denial
Our platform leverages AI to ingest and cross reference claims, clinical data, payment criteria (coding guidelines and individual payer policies), and historical cases. By synthesizing this information, we can flag preventable denials in real-time and generate claim-specific appeals post-denial.
We secured pre-seed funding in early 2024 and seed funding in late 2025, and have successfully partnered with multiple healthcare providers to help recover denied claims using our proprietary technology. We're experiencing a period of rapid growth, and are in need of a senior developer to help us address the needs of our expanding customer base.
We’re looking for an experienced product manager who can lead the company's product roadmap building and product development. You'll need to be a hands-on Product Manager able to connect our customers - clinics, coders, and physicians - with our internal teams. You’ll collaborate across R&D, Design, and Medical to build intuitive, high-impact solutions that simplify how providers recover denied claims.
