Coral, a health care automation company, announced a $12.5 million investment led by Lightspeed and Z47.

Coral connects to existing electronic health record systems, fax lines and payer portals and automates end-to-end administrative workflows for specialty healthcare providers, including durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers and infusion centers. The platform handles intake, prior authorization, fax processing and patient communications without requiring providers to change how they work.
