01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
eBlu Solutions was a Louisville, Kentucky digital-health company founded in 2012 and led by CEO Mark Murphy. Its software platform streamlined electronic prior authorization and benefits verification for expensive infusion-based specialty medications: medical practices could verify patient coverage, track manufacturer copay-program options, and automate over 80% of medical benefit investigations in under 60 seconds — a process that typically took days or weeks. It served specialty healthcare providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and payers, processed over 750,000 benefit verifications with a less-than-1% appeals rate, and grew to a team of more than 70. The company raised $15.4 million in total, including an $11.4 million Series A in April 2021 led by OCA Ventures.
