Where Cevi continues

Cevi is an EHR-native AI operations platform with comprehensive, end-to-end workflows. Practices deploy immediately—no IT team, same-day setup. Or get white-glove managed service. Cevi tests its AI agents against thousands of patient personas to ensure reliability before deployment. It automatically creates and maintains knowledge bases from your practice-specific data, policies, and procedures. With 148+ healthcare integrations, it connects to your EHR, billing, scheduling, pharmacy, communication, and more. Practices deploy from dozens of pre-built workflow templates—insurance verification, prior auth, referrals, medication triage, billing support. Cevi produces structured, EHR-ready output for every interaction. The AI understands context and intent, not just rules.

Where Keragon stops

Keragon automates the movement of data from System A to System B. When the automation ends, a staff member must decide what happens next. A prior auth request flows from the EHR to an insurance portal—Keragon got it there. But who checks if the insurance replied? Who handles denials? Who ensures the chart reflects the approval?

Cevi path

1. Patient calls or texts
2. Intent classified by AI agent using knowledge base
3. Workflow executes through integrated systems (insurance, referral, auth, medication, billing)
4. Structured output to EHR—ready to finalize

Keragon path

1. 1. Automation triggers → sends data to second system
2. 2. Data sits in second system awaiting human review
3. 3. Staff member interprets result and decides action
4. 4. Manual entry or follow-up required to close loop

Denied claims due to missing prior auth

$2,000–$8,000 per denied claim (radiology, surgery, specialist referrals); typical practice loses 2–5% of claims to denial due to prior auth gaps

Billing for services patient isn't covered for

$500–$2,000 per misbilled service; write-offs for out-of-scope claims; 10+ hours/month staff time chasing denials

Prescribing covered drugs instead of non-covered alternatives

$150–$600 per prescription (patient pays out-of-pocket or switches mid-course); 3–5 per week in typical practice

Referrals sent without authorization; response delays block care

$300–$1,500 per delayed referral (re-work, patient dissatisfaction, care delays); 2–4 lost referrals per week due to follow-up gaps

Repeating tests because previous results weren't found or weren't available to ordering clinician

$100–$500 per duplicate test; 3–8 per week in typical practice; direct cost + patient inconvenience

Services delivered but not coded/billed due to workflow gaps

2–5% of daily revenue (uncoded/unbilled services); $1,000–$5,000 per week for typical practice

Delayed patient balance collection due to slow eligibility-to-bill workflow

15–30 day DSO slowdown; $200–$800 per patient unpaid balance; cash flow impact

Dangerous drug interactions go undetected until patient harm; clinic liability and reputation damage

Malpractice claim: $100,000–$1,000,000+; patient harm; clinic reputation; regulatory fines

Manual follow-up, escalation, and rework due to incomplete automation

5–15 FTE worth of work annually (data entry, follow-up, rework); $250,000–$750,000 in labor cost

Denials not appealed due to staff workload and complexity

$5,000–$50,000 per year in abandoned appeals (easy wins not pursued due to staff burden)

1.5 hours/day per coordinator (check insurance, prepare request, send, track response, follow-up calls, log approval)

2 hours/day per front desk staff (manual portal checks, spreadsheet updates, patient calls for missing info)

1 hour/day per nurse or tech (checking formulary, contacting pharmacy, finding alternatives, updating chart)

2.5 hours/day per coordinator (multiple insurance portals, manual authorization requests, tracking responses, patient coordination)

3 hours/day per biller (manual code assignment, entering into PM system, reconciliation, missing code follow-up)

2 hours/day per claims processor (tracking submitted claims, identifying denials, building appeal packages, follow-up calls)

1.5 hours/day per staff (cross-checking systems, manual data entry, correcting discrepancies)

End-to-End Workflow Closure

Cevi doesn't just move data—it closes entire operational loops. Prior auth requests, insurance responses, medication interactions, and practice policy enforcement all conclude with actionable, EHR-ready output. No staff member has to interpret, decide, or manually complete the workflow.

Insurance Intelligence Integration

Real-time eligibility verification, coverage gap detection, formulary checking, and prior auth prediction are built in, not added on. Cevi prevents problems before they create claim denials or patient surprises.

Medication Safety & Crisis Detection

Automatic monitoring of drug interactions, duplicate therapy, and overdose risk across all patient prescriptions and providers. Blocks dangerous combinations or requires clinician override with documented reasoning.

Implementation Speed & Dedicated Support

Live deployment in under one week with dedicated team. 24/7 support across U.S., EU, Asia. Practices don't manage integration complexity—Cevi's team owns it.

Multi-Jurisdictional Compliance

HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 certified. Serves practices expanding internationally without additional compliance overhead. Keragon is U.S.-focused.

Structured EHR-Ready Output

Automation results drop directly into the medical record with proper coding, decision reasoning, and audit trails. No manual entry. No interpretation.

Success-Based Pricing

Aligns vendor and practice incentives. Cevi only wins when the practice realizes value. No flat fees for features not used.

Deployment Flexibility & Full Control

Deploy immediately on your own with zero IT overhead, or get white-glove managed service. Same-day live setup.

AI Testing Against Thousands of Personas

Cevi tests AI agents against thousands of patient personas to ensure reliability and accuracy before deployment.

Automatic AI Knowledge Base Creation

Cevi automatically creates and maintains knowledge bases from your practice-specific data, policies, and procedures.

148+ Healthcare Integrations

Connect to EHRs, billing systems, scheduling, pharmacy, communication platforms, and more—all in one platform.

Pre-Built Workflow Templates

Dozens of ready-to-deploy workflow automations for insurance, auth, referrals, medication, billing—deploy immediately.

AI-Powered, Not Rule-Based

Cevi uses actual AI agents that understand context and intent, not brittle rule-based automation.

Instant Deployment

Practices can go live same-day with same-day go-live—no implementation timeline, no IT requirements.

Integration Breadth

Keragon connects 300+ integrations across healthcare and business systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Twilio, Slack, etc.). If your practice uses non-traditional or niche business software, Keragon's breadth may be an advantage.

Customization Flexibility

Keragon is a blank-canvas automation platform. Any workflow you imagine, you can build—without coding. Cevi is optimized for standard medical workflows. Keragon gives you more control.

Self-Service Onboarding

Teams comfortable with DIY can set up automations quickly without waiting for a vendor team. Keragon supports this model; Cevi requires hands-on implementation.

Cost for Simple Use Cases

If you need basic system-to-system data sync (e.g., syncing appointment data to a marketing tool), Keragon may cost less than Cevi's end-to-end approach.

AI-Assisted Workflow Building

Keragon's AI agent (launched Feb 2026) builds workflows from natural-language prompts. No configuration UI needed—describe what you want, AI builds it.

Non-Medical Workflow Automation

If your need is purely business automation (e.g., syncing CRM to accounting software, automating marketing workflows), Keragon's flexibility may serve you better. Cevi is medical-domain specialized.

Budget Constraints on Non-Revenue Workflows

For automations that don't directly impact revenue or patient safety (e.g., internal team notifications), a low-cost general platform like Keragon may be more economical.

Prior Authorization Lifecycle Management

Keragon sends the request; Cevi owns the entire response cycle, appeal process, and documentation. This is non-negotiable for revenue protection.

Insurance Coverage Validation Before Service Delivery

Keragon syncs data. Cevi checks coverage in real time and alerts before you deliver a service the patient isn't covered for. Different league.

Medication Safety at Point of Prescription

Keragon doesn't block dangerous prescriptions. Cevi does. One is better for patient safety.

Practice Policy Enforcement in Clinical Workflows

Keragon is agnostic to practice rules (e.g., referral limits, protocol compliance). Cevi enforces them automatically at the point of decision.

Deployment for Practices Without IT Teams

Keragon's self-service model assumes technical capability or willingness to learn complex automation UI. Cevi is built for practices without dedicated IT.

Regulatory Scope Beyond HIPAA

International practices, privacy-sensitive markets, or multi-jurisdictional operations need GDPR and ISO certification. Keragon doesn't have these.

Revenue-Impacting Workflow Closure

Keragon doesn't close loops that impact claims, denials, collections, or patient responsibility. Cevi does. This is the fundamental difference.

Can Keragon do everything Cevi does?

No. Keragon automates system-to-system data movement. Cevi closes entire operational workflows. Keragon sends a prior auth request; Cevi owns the response, detects denials, builds appeals, and updates the EHR with the outcome. Keragon syncs eligibility data; Cevi prevents claim denials by checking coverage before service delivery. Keragon is a powerful integration platform; Cevi is an operational outcomes platform.

What happens if my practice doesn't have an IT team? Can we use Keragon?

Keragon's self-service model assumes some technical comfort (or willingness to learn). Complex integrations benefit from IT support or consulting. Cevi is built for practices without IT—the Cevi team owns all integration complexity. You focus on operations; Cevi handles infrastructure, EHR connectivity, and automation management.

Is Keragon less expensive than Cevi?

Pricing depends on your needs. For simple system-to-system syncing (e.g., syncing appointment data to a marketing tool), Keragon may be cheaper. For workflows that generate revenue (prior auth, insurance eligibility, billing) or protect patient safety (medication interactions, crisis detection), Cevi's success-based pricing typically delivers better ROI because it prevents costly denials and errors.

Can Keragon integrate with my EHR?

Yes—Keragon connects to 300+ systems including major EHRs (Athenahealth, Elation, Healthie, Epic). Cevi also integrates with every major EHR. The difference: Keragon moves data in and out; Cevi places structured, decision-ready output directly into the EHR medical record.

How fast can we deploy these platforms?

Keragon: minutes to days for basic automations; weeks for complex multi-department workflows. Cevi: live in under one week with dedicated implementation team. Speed difference is intentional—Cevi's dedicated team owns the deployment; Keragon requires customer configuration time.

What if we need both systems—one for medical workflows and one for business automation?

Many practices successfully run both. Cevi owns revenue-impacting and safety-critical workflows (prior auth, medication safety, insurance eligibility). Keragon handles business automation (CRM sync, marketing workflows, operational notifications). They integrate well because both respect HIPAA and can exchange data securely via APIs.
