Gridline Partners
SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

U.S.-based healthcare experts, backed by technology we build and run.

Gridline Partners provides medical transcription, coding, billing, and prior authorization for federal health programs and commercial healthcare organizations. Our U.S.-based experts work in HIPAA-aligned systems we build and operate on AWS GovCloud.

How we work

Our model

Healthcare administrative work is skilled people handling patient data on deadlines. We staff it with U.S. experts and give them software that removes the repetitive steps and records everything they do.

  1. 01

    U.S.-based experts do the work

    Our transcriptionists, coders, and billers are trained and based in the United States, and no one offshore has access to patient data.

  2. 02

    Our software handles the busywork

    Routing, first drafts, validation checks, and upload prep run in systems we build and operate.

  3. 03

    A person signs off on every deliverable

    Speech recognition and AI speed up the work. Our experts review, correct, and stay accountable for the result.

  4. 04

    Every job is measured

    Each job is timestamped from receipt to delivery, so turnaround, line counts, and accuracy are reported by site and by author.

Technical approach

How a report moves through our system

Using transcription as the example, here's what happens at each step.

  1. 01

    Secure intake

    Dictation arrives over encrypted channels (site-to-site VPN, SFTP, or TLS 1.2+ APIs) straight into our GovCloud environment. Audio and drafts never sit on staff laptops.

  2. 02

    Speech recognition draft, expert edit

    Speech recognition runs inside our boundary and produces a first draft. A U.S.-based editor listens to the audio, corrects the draft, and releases the report, so nothing goes out unreviewed.

  3. 03

    Checks before upload

    Patient, visit, author, document title, and facility are validated against the order before upload, which catches wrong-patient and wrong-facility errors before they reach the chart.

  4. 04

    Auditable line counts

    Visible black character and line counts are computed from the final document to the contract definition, with a transmittal log for every batch.

  5. 05

    Full audit trail

    Every access, edit, and release is logged with who, what, and when. Audio and reports are kept and destroyed on the contract schedule.

  6. 06

    Live reporting

    Turnaround, backlog, and accuracy by site and by author, with alerts before a STAT job is at risk of missing its window.
