S1, E20 - Josh Geleris, MD, CPO, SmarterDx

In this episode of Practical AI in Healthcare, we sit down with physician–informaticist Josh Geleris, MD, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of SmarterDx, to unpack one of healthcare’s most overlooked AI opportunities: revenue cycle intelligence. Drawing on his clinical training, deep technical background, and firsthand experience inside large health systems, Josh explains how AI can bridge the gap between clinical reality and billing documentation. The conversation explores how machine learning and large language models translate thousands of data points from an inpatient stay into accurate, compliant coding, helping health systems reduce revenue leakage while staying firmly within regulatory guardrails. From SQL queries to post-trained LLMs, Josh walks us through the evolution of SmarterDx’s AI stack and why human-in-the-loop design remains essential. This is a grounded, practical look at AI delivering real value where healthcare operations and clinical truth collide.
