We provide simple solutions to complex healthcare problems

NextServices was founded in 2004 with the simple insight that two of healthcare’s biggest challenges: administrative inefficiency and access to care, required a fresh approach. Starting out in the Ann Arbor campus of University of Michigan, we developed a powerful services and software platform that has today transformed how healthcare organizations see patients, get paid and bring digital health products to life.
