Every year, billions of dollars in surgical cases are routed to the wrong site of care. Health systems lose margin on cases that belong in lower-cost settings. Payers pay more than they should on every mis-sited claim. And the data to fix it has been sitting in EHRs and prior-auth systems all along.
Jaguar & Fern was built to close that gap. Our surgical site-of-care routing platform connects into your existing EHR or prior-authorization workflow, applies objective CMS site-of-care criteria automatically, and routes every case to the right facility — before the claim is filed and before a denial enters your revenue cycle.
The opportunity is documented, recoverable, and available now. Jaguar & Fern is built to capture this margin.
Laurel Bougie is an operations and strategy leader with nearly two decades of experience across global industrial manufacturing, life sciences, and healthcare services — including United Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and the revenue cycle sector at Meduit.
She founded Jaguar & Fern after recognizing that surgical site-of-care decisions represent one of the largest untapped margin opportunities in healthcare — and that the data and infrastructure to capture it already existed. What was missing was the platform to connect them.
Jaguar & Fern was built to close this gap.
Jaguar & Fern is a surgical site-of-care routing platform. We do not provide medical advice or make clinical determinations. All routing decisions are based on objective federal CMS site-of-care criteria. Final routing decisions rest with your clinical team.
