Why “Just Load the Data” Never Works
400+ claim files a month—none reconcile with finance.
BI analysts swim in CSVs instead of building dashboards.
Leadership asks for AI forecasts, but the data’s still spaghetti.
Bottom line: Without a proper claims-processing engine, every strategic question stalls in data prep.
Your Quiet, Always-On Data Factory
Work the Way That Fits Your Team
Kickstart
4-week foundation build, fixed fee
- You retain all code.
Embedded Team
10–30 hrs/week retainer, cancel anytime
- Discounted rates for longer terms.
Fully Managed
End-to-end data & analytics—zero staffing burden
- SLA-backed delivery & 24/7 monitoring.
Always yours: We build in your cloud; you keep every line of code—even if you end the contract.
Why We’ll Never Charge PMPM
I spent years hiring data vendors who priced like insurance premiums and tried to lock us out of our own code. Acratica was born to prove there’s a better way.
- Transparent fees—no per-member, per-claim, or surprise overages.
- Own-your-stack guarantee—we build in your environment; nothing evaporates if you leave.
- Aligned incentives—cancel anytime; our only leverage is the value we deliver.

We deliver end-to-end data ecosystem management, building powerful, "always-on" data engines that process messy claims, unify disparate records, and unlock AI-ready insights in weeks.
Our comprehensive services include secure cloud architecture, automated ETL pipelines, turnkey analytics, and modular "plug-in" options for report generation, data quality, and predictive modeling. Committed to integrity and client ownership, Acratica ensures transparent fees and solutions built directly in your environment. Experience rapid cost reconciliation, significant spend reduction, and genuinely enhanced patient care – that's the Acratica promise, delivered quickly and affordably.
Our Story
We created Acratica because we're tired of seeing U.S. healthcare entangled in its own complexity. The enormous administrative burden isn't just costly; it diverts resources from patient care and limits access. Our name comes from "akrasia," a term for acting against better judgment. It perfectly captures how the system often chooses the path of least resistance. Acratica is our stand for a healthcare system that acts with clarity, purpose, and integrity.
Our Mission
To improve the healthcare system by delivering real value, working with integrity, standing behind our results, and charging what’s fair rather than what the market might let us demand.
