Griffin Katz, DHSc, MHA, is a healthcare revenue-cycle executive and health scientist based in San Diego, California. He is the founder and CEO of Precertif.ai, which scores medical claims for denial risk before they are submitted and drafts regulation-backed appeal letters when denials do happen, and of Medformics, a healthcare technology company.

Griffin has spent more than a decade on the business side of medicine. At NYC Health + Hospitals, the largest municipal health system in the United States, he designed and led a system-wide denials-management initiative that reduced denial rates 27% in six months, helped recover more than $7.7 million in lost revenue, and raised billing accuracy from 87% to 98%. As a senior healthcare consultant at Guidehouse, he led revenue-cycle analytics for a $1B+ multi-system health care client and cut accounts-receivable days by 31%.

Alongside his operating work, Griffin Katz publishes peer-reviewed research, including a sole-author systematic review and meta-analysis of GLP-1 receptor agonists in Hormone and Metabolic Research (2025) and co-authorship of a Methods in Enzymology paper on imaging bone marrow fat that has been cited more than 220 times.

Griffin holds a Doctor of Health Science from Touro University California, a Master of Health Administration from NYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, and a B.S. from the University of Michigan.
