Unlocking Capabilities in Revenue Cycle Management with Generative AI

Unlocking Capabilities in Revenue Cycle Management with Generative AI

Author: John Lynn August 4, 2026 Duration: 11:46

AKASA focuses on the revenue cycle and on improving billing so that doctors are fully paid for their services. Although the company has been doing this for quite a while before generative AI became feasible, CEO and Cofounder Malinka Walaliyadde has seen that LLMs "unlock capabilities in the revenue cycle that weren't available before."

In a recent interivew with Walaliyaadde, we talk about the emerging crisis in coding and billing. Walaliyadde says that the highly trained workforce is "aging out" and that providers can't find new people fast enough to replace the ones who leave. At the same time, health care problems are growing, requiring more diagnoses and billing. This is a challenge for healthcare organizations where good revenue cycle management is the key to their financial success.
