# Assort Health Reaches $1.2B Valuation With $120M Series C

> Assort Health has raised a $120 million Series C that lifts its total funding past $222 million and pushes its valuation to $1.2 billion, giving the healthcare startup unicorn status. The company started with voice AI for handling patient phone calls and is now expanding into what it describes as an agentic operating system for the whole patient journey. In practice that means automating the administrative grind of healthcare: scheduling appointments, patient intake, referrals, and paperwork, the kind of high-volume, low-glamour work that clogs clinics and frustrates patients. Healthcare has been one of the more promising real-world arenas for AI precisely because so much of its cost is administrative rather than clinical. Automating the front-office layer avoids the thorniest safety and regulatory questions of AI diagnosis while still saving real time and money. The bet Assort is making is that hospitals and practices will hand more of that coordination to software agents, and its valuation says investors increasingly expect them to.
