Advanced Medical Strategies

What Advanced Medical Strategies does

Advanced Medical Strategies (AMS), founded in 2003 and headquartered in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, is a privately held healthcare analytics company that sells the PREDICT Platform and its module family — PredictPi, PredictPx, Predict Profiler, PredictDx, PredictRx, and CensusRater — to health plans, payers, underwriters, stop-loss carriers, reinsurance carriers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and managing general underwriters (MGUs). The platform supports payment integrity, risk management, and business intelligence workflows, with the company claiming its risk management tools back over 90% of stop-loss and reinsurance premiums written annually and that the platform has analyzed more than $6.4 trillion in total billed charges.

The PREDICT Platform is the unifying analytics layer across the product family; individual solutions plug into a shared claims and pricing data backbone that triangulates hospital price transparency data, health plan transparency-in-coverage data, and Medicare pricing to produce payment-clarity outputs. Product functionality spans automated clinical review and questionable-spend identification (PredictPi), price-transparency triangulation (PredictPx, launched in 2024), specialty drug and high-cost claimant profiling (Predict Profiler), cancer treatment-course analytics for medical underwriters (PredictDx), dosed drug-cost benchmarking (PredictRx), and census-based underwriting for fully insured conversion groups (CensusRater). All solutions are delivered under HITRUST CSF Certification.

AMS operates a subscription-based revenue model with two commercial formats — non-contingency subscriptions for individual solutions and enterprise subscriptions for the full platform — sold through an enterprise field sales motion targeting regulated healthcare buyers. The company also operates a self-serve member portal at predictsuite.amspredict.com for subscribed users. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no listed institutional investors; ownership commentary suggests founder/management ownership, with leadership comprising CEO and co-founder Peter Borans, CMO and founder Stacy Borans, CIO Jay Donoghue, and Chief Strategy Officer David Cardelle. Operating geographies are restricted to the United States.

Core offering

AMS sells the PREDICT Platform — a subscription analytics suite that automates healthcare payment integrity, clinical and pharmacy anomaly detection, stop-loss underwriting risk profiling, and business intelligence reporting. Customers license either the full enterprise PREDICT Platform or individual solutions (PredictPx, Predict Profiler, PredictPi, PredictDx, PredictRx, CensusRater), and AMS additionally earns contingency fees on recovery gains delivered through the platform.

Product overview

Advanced Medical Strategies (AMS) offers a unified platform-plus-modules architecture built around its PREDICT Platform, which serves as the core analytics engine. The PREDICT Platform underpins three main solution areas: Payment Integrity (including PredictPi, PredictPx, and the broader automated claims review workflows), Risk Management (including Predict Profiler, PredictDx, PredictRx, and CensusRater), and Business Intelligence. Solutions are delivered as flexible subscriptions (individual solutions or enterprise platform access) with minimal IT integration requirements.

Direct peers

• Cotiviti: Cotiviti is a direct competitor to AMS in healthcare payment integrity, providing claim accuracy and overpayment recovery analytics to health plans, payers, and retailers. Both target similar enterprise buyers with overlapping claims analytics and payment-integrity offerings.
• Inovalon: Inovalon operates a cloud-based healthcare data analytics platform serving health plans, pharmacies, and providers with risk score accuracy and quality analytics. It competes with AMS in payer-facing predictive analytics and risk stratification.
• SCIO Health Analytics (EXL Health): EXL Health (formerly SCIO Health Analytics) provides payment integrity, risk adjustment, and care management analytics to payers and providers — directly comparable to AMS's payment integrity and risk management PREDICT modules.

Emerging players

• Cohere Health: Cohere Health provides AI-powered prior authorization and utilization management analytics for payers and providers — adjacent to AMS's payment integrity franchise with overlap in intelligent clinical review automation.
• Datavant: Datavant specializes in healthcare data connectivity and de-identification, enabling analytics on patient and claims data. It is an enabling/ecosystem peer to AMS's claims-analytics platform, sharing the same payer and provider buyer base.
• Apixio: Apixio applies AI to clinical and claims data for risk adjustment, payment accuracy, and care quality analytics. It overlaps with AMS's predictive risk analytics and payment integrity workflows for health plans.

Broad incumbents

• Change Healthcare (Optum): Now part of Optum/UnitedHealth, Change Healthcare historically provided claims processing and payment integrity analytics to payers — a directly overlapping space, though under a much broader UnitedHealth-owned portfolio.
• Optum (UnitedHealth Group): Optum is the dominant healthcare analytics and services incumbent serving payers, providers, and pharmacies with risk, payment integrity, and population health solutions — competing broadly with AMS across enterprise health-plan buyers.
• Health Catalyst: Health Catalyst provides a healthcare data and analytics platform used by health systems and payers for population health, financial transformation, and risk analytics — overlapping with AMS's Business Intelligence and analytics offerings at enterprise payer/provider buyers.

Others
