From early roots to healthcare revenue-cycle software: the Waystar story

Waystar was formed in 2017 through the combination of Navicure and ZirMed, two companies that provided software for healthcare revenue-cycle management.

How Waystar developed

The combined business adopted the Waystar name in 2018 and expanded tools for claims, payments, patient financial engagement and administrative automation. It went public in June 2024.

Waystar in 2026

By September 2026, Waystar remained a healthcare payments and revenue-cycle software company. Reuters reported on 15 September 2026 that it was exploring strategic options, including a possible sale, but no completed transaction had been announced.

Waystar operates in the administrative layer of healthcare, where software can reduce errors and delays in the movement of claims and payments even though patients may never see the platform directly.
