PHILADELPHIA, PA — Lyric was named to Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026 in the healthcare category, the company announced.
The recognition highlights companies identified by Fast Company editors and writers as driving innovation across industries through a competitive selection process.
Lyric provides payment accuracy services for health plans and said it reviews more than 50 percent of claims nationwide, covering approximately 190 million Americans.
Halsey Wise, chief executive officer of Lyric, said the company has focused on improving the speed and efficiency of payment accuracy systems.
“In the last two years, we’ve rebuilt the infrastructure of payment accuracy from the ground up. What used to take months now takes days,” Wise said.
The company’s platform, Lyric42, centralizes payment data and uses a rules-based system with AI to analyze claims and identify discrepancies.
Yevgeny German, chief technology officer, said the system is designed to provide traceable and explainable findings while incorporating human oversight.
“Every finding is traceable. Every recommendation is explainable. Our AI operates within clearly defined boundaries with human experts in the loop,” German said.
Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan said the companies on the list were selected for their impact and ability to drive change.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change—they drive it,” Vaughan said.
