Mr. Anstine co-founded Rhyme and has served as its CEO since 2016, driven by a passion for creating synergistic benefits across the healthcare industry, with a particular focus on prior authorization, one of healthcare’s most persistent administrative burdens. Rhyme’s platform makes prior authorizations fully touchless by meticulously tracking the end-to-end prior auth process and automatically removing unnecessary manual effort, friction and waste. This addresses a problem that costs the healthcare system billions of dollars annually and consumes enormous clinician and administrative time. Mr. Anstine has become a recognized voice on the structural barriers that prevent meaningful progress in prior authorization reform, identifying foundational problems like the incredible variation in EHR data that effectively blocks it from flowing out to payers, and the lack of meaning or context that this data carries for payers on the receiving end. His leadership at Rhyme reflects a conviction that durable solutions to healthcare’s administrative challenges require not just policy change but meticulous operational execution, deep technical expertise, and an unwavering focus on eliminating variation and inefficiency.
