Resolving complex data into decisions you can act on.
Quant Solvent builds revenue cycle analytics, HIPAA-aware AI workflows, and production data platforms for billing companies, providers, health-tech startups, and payers — senior engineering without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Same-day Statement of Work — describe your project and get a written scope and estimate back the same business day.
What we build and deliver
We are a technical consulting firm. Every engagement is custom professional services delivered under a written Statement of Work — there is no off-the-shelf product to add to a cart.
AI Advisory for Executives
Fractional AI advisory and readiness diagnostics for senior leaders — from an operator who has shipped production AI, not a coach or a course.
Healthcare AI & LLM Consulting
LLM-powered workflows on regulated data — HIPAA-aware architecture, BAAs, retrieval over your documents, shipped to production.
RCM Automation with AI
Remittance (835) processing, denial workflows, and A/R analytics for billing companies — built on your real claims data.
Denial Management AI
CARC/RARC categorization, root-cause analytics, LLM-drafted appeals, and prevention targeted at what your data proves.
Payer Contract Analytics
Rate benchmarking against Medicare and market data, underpayment detection, and modeled proposals for your next negotiation.
Data Warehouse Migration
Teradata to Databricks, on-prem SQL to cloud — with parallel-run validation, staged cutover, and cost optimization.
Modern Data Stack
Right-sized data platforms for small teams — ingestion, warehouse, tested models, dashboards. The smallest stack that answers your questions.
How we work together
Pricing is scoped to each engagement. We provide a written estimate and Statement of Work before any work begins — and a clear path from first diagnostic to ongoing operations.
Fixed-Fee Diagnostics
- RCM Data Healthcheck — where revenue is leaking and what to automate first
- AI Readiness Assessment — which workflows pay back AI, and what it takes to ship
- Findings + prioritized plan you keep, whoever builds it
Project Engagements
- Builds, migrations, and automations under a written SOW
- Production deployment is the finish line, not a slide deck
- You own all work product on payment
Retainers & Operations
- Managed AI Operations — eval monitoring, prompt/model maintenance, accuracy you can audit
- Platform Operations — pipeline reliability, cost management, monthly hour bank
- Fractional Data & AI Lead — senior ownership without the full-time hire
From the practice
Answer-first guides on the problems we get hired to solve — healthcare AI on regulated data, denial management, and platform migrations.
How to Benchmark Your Payer Reimbursement Rates Against Medicare
Express each contracted rate as a percent of the Medicare allowable for the same code, locality, and year, then volume-weight to rank payers best to worst.
Is Azure OpenAI HIPAA Compliant? What the BAA Does and Doesn't Cover
Azure OpenAI is HIPAA-eligible under Microsoft's BAA — what the BAA covers, what stays your responsibility, and the settings that silently break compliance.
Can You Use ChatGPT (or Any LLM) With PHI? HIPAA Rules for Healthcare AI
Consumer ChatGPT has no BAA, so PHI is off-limits. What a compliant LLM deployment requires, and which platforms actually qualify.
The Most Common Medical Billing Denial Codes (CARC/RARC) and How to Fix Them
The denial codes that drain the most revenue — CO-16, CO-197, CO-11, CO-50 — with root causes and where each gets fixed in the revenue cycle.
Teradata to Databricks Migration: What BladeBridge/Lakebridge Automates, and Where It Breaks
What Databricks' conversion tooling handles, what needs hand-rewriting, and its silent failure modes.

The reseller ceiling, the cutover step by step, and recovering a truncated mailbox from the 30-day soft-delete window.
Healthcare data and AI, answered
The questions we field most often from billing companies, provider groups, and health-tech teams.
Can you use AI or an LLM with protected health information (PHI)?
Only on a platform covered by a signed Business Associate Agreement and configured to match it. Consumer ChatGPT has no BAA, so PHI is off-limits; enterprise offerings like Azure OpenAI are HIPAA-eligible, but the BAA alone does not make a deployment compliant — retention, logging, and training settings all have to line up. See using LLMs with PHI and our healthcare AI & LLM consulting.
What is denial management AI?
Software that reads remittance (835) data, categorizes denials by CARC/RARC code, traces each one to its root cause, and drafts appeals — so billing teams work the denials worth working instead of reading every one by hand. More on denial management AI and the codes that drain the most revenue.
How do you know if your payer contracts are underpaying you?
Benchmark each contracted rate as a percent of the Medicare allowable for the same code, locality, and year, then volume-weight across your actual case mix. That single ratio ranks payers best to worst and exposes underpayments against terms you already signed. See payer contract analytics.
How are engagements priced and how quickly can one start?
Three shapes: fixed-fee diagnostics that run about a week, project engagements on time-and-materials or fixed scope, and monthly retainers for ongoing operations. Describe the project and you get a written scope, estimate, and Statement of Work back the same business day.
Who do you work with?
Medical billing companies, provider groups and health systems, health-tech startups, and payer teams — organizations that need senior engineering on revenue cycle and healthcare data without hiring a full-time team. Work is hands-on: we write the code, run the migrations, and clients own all work product on payment.
Do you only work in healthcare?
Healthcare is the specialty, not the boundary. The same work — data warehouse migration, modern data stack builds, and AI advisory for executives — carries over to any organization with tangled data and a decision to make.
A senior engineer, on demand
Quant Solvent is a Tennessee-based software development and technical consulting practice led by Clayton Severson, Principal Consultant. We work where money, technology, and healthcare intersect — for billing companies, provider groups, health systems, health-tech startups, and payer teams that need experienced hands to design, build, and ship.
Work is hands-on and accountable: we write the code, run the migrations, and stand behind what we deliver. Clients own all work product on payment, and every engagement is governed by a clear Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work. More about how we work →
The name is a chemistry metaphor. A solvent separates a mixture into its components by phase and solubility, so each one can be isolated and measured. Quant Solvent does the quantitative version — dissolving tangled, messy data into clean, measurable structure, so the properties that actually matter become visible and usable.
