Datagence
Reefo
Led by people who have scaled revenue, built enterprise systems, and advised the teams that live with messy workflows every day, Reefo helps hospitals buy and manage AI vendors.
Inaccurate provider directories cost health plans millions in penalties, expose patients to surprise bills, and erode trust in every digital health tool that depends on knowing who a provider actually is. In California, SB 137 and the No Surprises Act make this a board-level problem, and the privacy environment makes the usual "send your data to the cloud" answer a non-starter.
Datagence solves this. Our platform, Polus HCP, is a Quality-Data-as-a-Service (QDaaS) directory that pulls in trusted federal data and the provider rosters that hospitals, health plans, and provider networks already collect, then merges them into a single validated source of truth. Every value, every name, address, phone number, license, carries its source, its quality and confidence scores, and its full history. Compliance teams can answer regulator questions with real evidence. Operations teams can see exactly where the data came from and when it was last validated. AI tools can finally rely on a provider data layer that tells the truth about itself. We're the only platform built this way from the schema up: provenance on every value, auditable by default, AI-ready by design, and deployable inside your environment so protected data never has to leave.
