Daffodil Health Raises $16.3M Series A Financing

Daffodil Health

San Francisco, CA

Navin Nagiah — Co-Founder & CEO

Daffodil Health is an AI-first healthcare technology company modernizing the claims and pricing infrastructure used by U.S. health plans. Its configurable, transparent platform enables payors and third-party administrators (TPAs) to bring out-of-network (OON) repricing and payment integrity in-house-without added operational complexity or labor costs. Daffodil replaces opaque, percentage-of-savings middlemen with a modern SaaS model that gives plans direct control over pricing logic, real-time reporting, and defensible benchmarks that withstand regulatory and audit scrutiny. Built to work alongside existing core claims systems, the platform supports next-generation plan designs such as reference-based pricing, narrow and tiered networks, and dynamic copays.
