Adonis, a healthcare revenue cycle intelligence and automation company, announced it secured $31 million in Series B funding, bringing its total raise to $54 million. 

Point72 Private Investments led the round with participation from new investor Kin Ventures and existing investors General Catalyst, Max Ventures and Bling Capital.

WHAT IT DOES

Adonis provides revenue cycle technology to healthcare organizations utilizing machine learning and artificial intelligence for pattern recognition and anomaly detection to streamline and automate revenue workflows.

The company's AI provides recommendations, smart work lists, claims-status tracking and detection of underpayments. 

Adonis, which received $17.3 million in a Series A funding round led by General Catalyst last year, will use the funds to expand its New York-based workforce, speed up product innovation and continue growing in the health system space. 

"We believe [Adonis'] progress is a true testament to the sophistication of their technology, coupled with their relentless pursuit of innovation in the healthcare revenue cycle space," Holly Maloney, managing director at General Catalyst, said in a statement.

"Since investing in their Series A, we've watched the Adonis team continuously demonstrate the effectiveness of their technology, helping healthcare teams recover more revenue so that they can focus on clinical outcomes. Their advancements have reinforced our confidence in their technology, team, and strategic vision, and we look forward to continuing to support their journey."
