Helia was created to address one of healthcare’s most persistent and complex challenges: the “bill-only” problem. This longstanding issue has caused inefficiencies, delays, and costly errors, burdening providers and suppliers alike. Beyond being a frustration, it represents a systemic problem with significant financial and operational consequences for the entire healthcare ecosystem. Recognizing this, Helia set out to develop a solution tailored to the complexity of modern healthcare. The result is the industry’s first comprehensive end-to-end healthcare network that seamlessly connects providers, suppliers, and distributors. By leveraging a network and an advanced blockchain approach, Helia transforms fragmented, manual workflows into streamlined, one-click, real-time transactions, simplifying and securing a traditionally complex process. The impact is transformative. Providers are achieving annual savings of up to $1 million per facility, with up to an additional $1 million gained through enhanced charge capture accuracy. Suppliers are seeing significant reductions in days sales outstanding, improved cash flow, and streamlined operational efficiency. Looking ahead, Helia is committed to delivering even greater value across our network. By leveraging advanced AI capabilities, were making data interactions faster and smarter. Were delivering the industrys fastest end-to-end case-to-invoice transactions—processing in as little as 60 seconds—and were introducing advanced case scheduling features that enable providers and suppliers across our network to make real-time, data-driven decisions.

Together, we’re reducing costs, enhancing outcomes, and shaping a more connected, efficient, and sustainable healthcare system.
