SAN FRANCISCO, August 20, 2025-- Develop Health, an EHR-integrated benefits‑verification and prior‑authorization platform, today announced a $14.3 million Series A led by Wing Venture Capital, with participation from Afore Capital, J Ventures, and South Park Commons. The round brings the company’s total funding to $17.6 million..

旧金山，2025年8月20日——Develop Health是一家与电子健康记录（EHR）集成的福利验证和预授权平台，今天宣布完成了由Wing Venture Capital领投的1430万美元A轮融资，Afore Capital、J Ventures和South Park Commons也参与了投资。此轮融资使公司的总融资额达到了1760万美元。

Built with over a dozen purpose-built large language model pipelines, Develop Health is the first medication access platform fully architected around GenAI. Its EHR-integrated platform plugs into virtual care workflows to verify insurance coverage in real time, generate and submit the correct prior authorization package, follow up and track status continuously, and return structured data back into the provider’s system, all without manual effort from care teams..

Develop Health 是第一个完全围绕生成式人工智能构建的药物获取平台，其集成了十几个专门构建的大型语言模型管道。其与电子健康记录（EHR）集成的平台嵌入到虚拟护理工作流程中，可以实时验证保险覆盖范围，生成并提交正确的预先授权文件包，持续跟进并跟踪状态，并将结构化数据返回到供应商的系统中，全程无需护理团队的手动操作。

Founded by Mel van Londen and Benjamin Easton, Develop Health is tackling a growing bottleneck in healthcare: the administrative complexity that delays access to necessary medications. Before Develop Health, the founders held roles at provider-facing healthcare startups Canvas Medical and Rupa Health, where they saw how poor communication and data fidelity between providers and payers led to delayed treatment, lost revenue, and worse outcomes for patients..

由梅尔·范·隆登和本杰明·伊斯特恩创立的Develop Health正在解决医疗保健领域日益严重的瓶颈问题：导致获取必要药物延误的行政复杂性。在创立Develop Health之前，两位创始人曾在面向医疗服务提供方的医疗初创公司Canvas Medical和Rupa Health任职，在那里他们目睹了医疗服务提供方与支付方之间沟通不畅和数据准确性不足如何导致治疗延误、收入损失以及患者结果恶化。

“We believe providers should be able to make care decisions with full visibility into a patient’s plan, because a prescription that isn’t affordable or accessible is no prescription at all,” said Mel van Londen, co-founder and CEO of Develop Health. “We’re building healthcare’s agentic clearinghouse, starting with medication access and designing infrastructure that meets both payers and providers where they are.”.

“我们认为，医疗服务提供者应该能够全面了解患者的计划来做出诊疗决策，因为一个负担不起或无法获取的处方实际上根本算不上处方，”Develop Health联合创始人兼首席执行官梅尔·范·隆登表示。“我们正在构建医疗领域的代理清算平台，首先从药物获取开始，并设计既符合支付方又能满足提供者现状的基础设施。”

The new funding will fuel Develop Health’s expansion beyond its core work helping digital health companies navigate the pharmacy benefit space—spanning GLP-1s and treatments across addiction, neurology, dermatology, and psychiatry—into the medical benefit market. The company will also deepen its integrations with both EHRs and PBMs, streamlining and scaling the link between prescribing and coverage, and extend its reach into traditional providers outside of digital health..

新资金将推动Develop Health扩展其核心业务，不仅帮助数字健康公司驾驭药品福利领域（涵盖GLP-1类药物及成瘾、神经科、皮肤科和精神科治疗），还将进军医疗福利市场。该公司还将深化与电子健康记录（EHR）和药品福利管理（PBM）的整合，简化并扩大处方与覆盖范围之间的联系，并将其影响力延伸至数字健康领域之外的传统医疗服务提供者。

“Develop Health is solving one of the most frustrating pain points in healthcare – getting patients the medications they need without weeks of paperwork and endless back-and-forth,” said Sara Choi, Partner at Wing Venture Capital. “They’ve built a system that puts GenAI to work in one of the industry’s most critical, overlooked workflows.

“Develop Health正在解决医疗保健领域中最令人沮丧的痛点之一——让患者在不需要数周的文书工作和无休止的反复沟通的情况下获得所需药物，”Wing Venture Capital合伙人Sara Choi表示。“他们构建了一个系统，将生成式人工智能应用于行业中至关重要但却被忽视的工作流程之一。”

Develop Health is positioned to become essential infrastructure for any provider dealing with medication access complexity. ”.

开发健康（Develop Health）有望成为任何应对药物获取复杂性的供应商的基本基础设施。”

Today, Develop Health helps providers reduce churn, set clearer patient expectations, and streamline access to care. The platform reduces form completion time by over 80% and increases approval rates, improving both provider efficiency and patient experience. In just three months, the company has grown significantly and is on track to helping over 1 million patients access their medications by the end of this year.

如今，Develop Health帮助供应商减少客户流失、设定更清晰的患者期望，并简化就医流程。该平台将表格填写时间减少了超过80%，并提高了审批率，提升了供应商效率和患者体验。在短短三个月内，公司取得了显著增长，预计到今年年底将帮助超过100万名患者获得所需药物。

That traction has been driven by Develop Health’s exceptional team of engineers, including Jack Collins, Juan de Urtubey, and Zygimantas Koncius, whose technical excellence has made the platform possible..

这种吸引力是由Develop Health出色的工程团队推动的，其中包括杰克·柯林斯、胡安·德·乌尔图贝和齐吉曼塔斯·康丘斯，他们的技术卓越使这个平台成为可能。
