Corvus Launches Innovative Platform to Enhance Surgical Referrals and Care Access
CHICAGO, Oct. 29, 2025 — Corvus, a pioneering digital health company, has announced its official launch today, aiming to optimize the surgical referral process. In partnership with Mayo Clinic and backed by Redesign Health, Corvus will employ automation and artificial intelligence to simplify administrative tasks and accelerate surgical access for eligible patients.
Corvus intends to address the inefficiencies prevalent in surgical referrals, which often result in a conversion rate of less than 40% from referral to surgery. By streamlining referral workflows, the platform enhances efficiency for care teams while ensuring that eligible patients are promptly identified and scheduled for surgical consultations. This innovation aims to not only expedite treatment timelines but also maximize operating room utilization.
Key features of the Corvus platform include automation of document retrieval, coordination of prior authorizations, and estimation of out-of-pocket costs, all designed to alleviate the administrative burden on healthcare professionals. The AI-driven system also assesses surgical eligibility by analyzing patients’ medical histories and procedural requirements.
Dr. Ian Strug, founder and CEO of Corvus, emphasized the importance of improving the surgical referral process in a patient’s care journey. “Our solution empowers clinical teams to triage patients more effectively, eliminate unnecessary paperwork, and ultimately deliver more timely and valuable surgical care,” he stated.
Corvus is currently collaborating with various health systems across multiple specialties, including orthopedics and neurosurgery, to implement pilot programs that validate the efficacy of its solution. With plans for future FDA clearance as a clinical decision support system, Corvus aims to evolve into a fully automated triage and scheduling tool.
As healthcare continues to face challenges in surgical access, Corvus is set to transform one of the most critical aspects of patient care through its innovative approach to managing surgical referrals.
