Quadax

What Quadax does

Quadax, Inc. is a privately held U.S. healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions provider founded in 1973 in Cleveland, Ohio, by former IBM employees Ralph Daugstrup and Tom Hockman. The company operates a cloud-based platform anchored by its proprietary Xpeditor clearinghouse and claims management software, which delivers a stated 99.7% first-pass clean-claim rate, and is augmented by modular solutions including the XpressBiller rules engine, RemitMax remittance automation, ICV All-Payer eligibility verification, and the Intelligence by Quadax (iQ) AI framework comprising Decision Intelligence, Predictive Intelligence, AskQ (conversational chatbot), and Ask DataIQ (Snowflake-powered conversational analytics). Over 40 proprietary software products support the platform, which is delivered as a HIPAA- and SOC-compliant SaaS subscription, through Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) managed services, or as white-label/OEM integrations with EHR vendors.

Quadax generates revenue through four primary streams: SaaS subscriptions to its Xpeditor-based platform, BPO/managed RCM services using in-house laboratory billing experts, channel and white-label licensing to EHR vendors and healthcare software platforms, and professional services for implementation, training, and ongoing support. The company sells primarily through a direct enterprise sales motion with dedicated account management, supplemented by inside sales and channel partnerships. Its distribution strategy includes deep technology integrations with Epic, MEDITECH, Oracle, Streamline, and Azalea, plus authorized reseller relationships with OnBase by Hyland, enabling Quadax capabilities to be embedded within client EHR workflows.

Quadax serves six primary vertical segments — Hospitals & Health Systems, Laboratories & Pathology Groups, Durable Medical Equipment suppliers, Physician Groups & Specialty Practices, Medical Billing & Follow-Up Companies, and Post-Acute & Long-Term Care organizations — across the United States. Named enterprise customers include Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Samaritan Medical Center, Biodesix, and Crisp Regional Hospital. The company is privately held, has been self-funded through operations for over 50 years, employs 670+ professionals across four U.S. locations with dual Tier 3 N+1 data centers, and has been recognized five times as Best in KLAS for Claims Management & Clearinghouse (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2026). Following the recent passing of both co-founders, leadership now resides with President & CEO John Leskiw and CFO Mark Tibbs.
