Juniper

Juniper, previously operating under the name Valea Health, is a healthcare IT company headquartered in New York, NY, USA. With a team of 23 employees, Juniper operates primarily in the United States and Canada, serving the healthcare industry with a focus on behavioral health. As a participant in the Y-Combinator W21 batch, Juniper has integrated over $750 million of therapy claims data to develop a treatment-specific rules engine. The company’s technology automates the claim lifecycle, enhancing the speed and accuracy of payments through daily auto-scrubbing, validation, and submission of claims. Juniper’s security measures include proactive host intrusion monitoring and tightly configured security group firewalls. The company offers comprehensive workflow tools and full-service billing solutions for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), with features like advanced payouts and real-time reporting for transparency. Juniper’s tech-driven approach not only speeds up cash flow but also reduces costs and increases collection rates, with claims processed cleaner and faster, resulting in lower denial rates. Additionally, Juniper provides up to $100,000 in collections for free to new clients as a confidence-building measure. The company also collaborates with the Council for Autism Service Providers (CASP) to enhance payor rate transparency for ABA providers.
