Real people handling the work that matters

Our remote expeditors integrate with your discharge team, handling insurance verifications, prior authorizations, DME coordination, and facility placements — so your clinical staff can focus on patient care.

AI learns from every action taken

Every discharge our team processes feeds our AI engine. Over time, it automates the most repetitive workflows — reducing turnaround times and scaling capacity without adding headcount.
How it works

From admission to discharge, in one workflow

  1. Admission

    Metrias connects to your EHR and starts tracking each patient’s expected discharge from day one.

  2. Stay

    AI flags the administrative blockers — pending consults, paperwork, SNF placement — before they stall the discharge.

  3. Discharge

    Remote expeditors clear the flagged blockers and write the result back to the chart. No double-documentation.

Bidirectional with Epic, Cerner & Meditech

Standard HL7 / FHIR integration — your team works in one place, with no double-documentation.

Mene Demestihas, Founder & CEO of Metrias Medical

Physician founded, built for Operators

Dr. Mene Demestihas saw the discharge bottleneck firsthand — patients waiting hours for paperwork while beds sat occupied and ERs backed up. The problem wasn't clinical. It was administrative.

He founded Metrias Medical to solve it with the same rigor physicians bring to patient care: deploy skilled experts, arm them with purpose-built software, and let the data teach the system to get faster over time.
