Atlanta, October 22, 2026 — Rialtic has been named a finalist in the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 2026 Deals of the Year Awards, earning a spot in the Innovation & Emerging Technology category for its merger with Exponential AI to transform healthcare payment accuracy.
The combination creates a unified platform that pairs deep payment accuracy expertise with advanced agentic technology, designed to meet the evolving needs of healthcare payers and providers.
The program honors companies and the business transactions that have meaningfully impacted the Atlanta region, across nine categories. The Chronicle’s team and ACG Atlanta selected finalists through an independent editorial review based entirely on deal impact. The recognition places Rialtic alongside the region’s most significant M&A and dealmaking activity.
Rialtic was founded to modernize payment operations for health plans through a cloud platform built for healthcare. Exponential AI applied advanced analytics and explainable AI to complex healthcare workflows. As both companies grew, customers asked for a single platform to improve decisions across their operations, not another standalone product.
The merger joins Rialtic’s payment operations expertise with Exponential AI’s decision intelligence and automation.It was not about getting bigger. It was about building a stronger company for customers, and a platform built for where healthcare is headed.
Rialtic’s platform is built for transparency and payer control. Every policy and decision is explainable and traceable, so health plans and providers can see why a claim was paid or adjusted. Payers can configure policies, set exclusions and provider carveouts, and test changes on their own claims before going live, keeping decisions governed and audit-ready while helping to reduce friction between payers and providers.
Rialtic is transforming healthcare payments with governance-native, agentic AI solutions that make them more accurate and transparent. Its payment accuracy platform combines rules-based precision with real-time AI intelligence to help reduce medical costs and administrative burden. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Atlanta, Rialtic merged with Exponential AI in 2026 and is backed by a dedicated R&D center in Hyderabad. Deployed across leading U.S. health plans and systems, the company serves healthcare organizations representing more than 100 million lives across commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid markets.
