About Cedar

Paying for care should be easy
and affordable

But too often, it’s not—and providers bear the cost. Cedar changes that. Our intelligence-driven solution brings transparency, responsiveness, and human-caliber understanding into every moment of the healthcare financial experience.

What drives us

Designed to perform, built to care

We’re obsessed with precision and speed because we know what’s at stake. Every detail matters: the clarity of a message, the timing of a nudge, the ease of a single click. Cedar Intelligence handles the complexity so patients get exactly what they need, when they need it—and providers see real results.

Todd Yu, CFO, Talkiatry

Cedar understands our patients’ preferences and behaviors, then they leverage this understanding to design a better payment experience. The result is better outcomes for both patients and our business. To me, partnering with Cedar is a no-brainer.
