About Phare & R1

Phare is building healthcare’s first Revenue Operating System - a platform that uses AI to make hospital billing and reimbursement effortless, accurate, and fair. We recently became part of R1, one of the largest companies managing healthcare claims which serves hundreds of systems around the country. This gives us the best of both worlds: the DNA of an AI startup paired with the scale of a healthcare organization that supports care delivery for hundreds of healthcare systems nationwide.

Join us on our mission to build a fairer, faster model for healthcare payments.

You’ll blend technical depth with product instinct, shaping how healthcare teams interact with intelligent systems.
