LEHI, Utah and LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Waystar (NASDAQ:WAY), a provider of leading healthcare payment software, today announced it has been named to the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list and recognized as the TIME Impact in AI award winner for delivering proven outcomes across the healthcare revenue cycle.
The honor highlights the growing adoption and proven impact of Waystar AltitudeAI™, which has prevented more than $15.5 billion in claims that would have otherwise been denied and reduced time spent on denial appeals and recovery by 90%. Accelerating its vision for the industry's first autonomous revenue cycle, Waystar recently introduced new AI-powered capabilities to its platform, led by agentic AI that executes defined tasks and learns from outcomes with minimal human intervention. Waystar's expanded collaboration with Google Cloud further advances these efforts by strengthening world-class AI infrastructure and leveraging advanced models to amplify impact and speed to market.
"This recognition reflects the momentum behind a bold vision: building the industry's first autonomous revenue cycle platform," said Matt Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer of Waystar. "With agentic AI embedded in core workflows and an unparalleled proprietary dataset powering every model, we're turning that vision into reality — and giving providers the confidence to reimagine what's possible."
The sixth annual TIME100 Most Influential Companies list highlights companies making an extraordinary impact around the world. To assemble the list, TIME solicited nominations across sectors and polled its global network of contributors and correspondents, as well as outside experts.
