📲 “We engage patients through their smartphones and walk them step-by-step to a bulletproof application — no paperwork, no confusion, no barriers.”

Instead of relying on overwhelmed clinic staff, Escher Health’s tech helps patients self-serve to complete Medicaid and benefits applications in minutes — with far greater accuracy and throughput.

🧠 The result?

  • 2x the enrollment throughput
  • 10x cost reduction
  • Fewer manual touchpoints for FQHC and hospital staff
  • Seamless interface with government systems

Pedram Afshar explains how Escher’s platform turns enrollment from a fragmented process into an elegant engine for access — and revenue.
