Anagram
The #1 insurance billing software platform for optometry, opticianry, and ophthalmology.
Overview
Anagram (formerly Patch) is the leading vision insurance billing and revenue cycle management (RCM) software platform for eye care providers. Founded in 2014 by Jeremy Bluvol and Brett Plotzker, the company enables optometrists, ophthalmologists, and opticians to process both in-network and out-of-network vision insurance benefits in real time -- eliminating the administrative burden of managed vision plans, phone calls, and paper submissions. The platform has grown to serve over 2,000 eye care practices and has facilitated more than USD 500 million in vision care revenue, helping over 3 million patients access their benefits.
Anagram rebranded from its original name Patch in 2020 at the time of its Series A funding round, which raised USD 9.1 million led by ManchesterStory. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with approximately 94-99 employees as of early 2026. Anagram holds a 4.7/5 rating across Gartner Digital Markets platforms and received multiple 2025 awards from Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp for ease of use, customer support, and functionality.
Anagram's platform uniquely unifies in-network and out-of-network vision insurance administration in a single tool, addressing what the company estimates as 80 hours of administrative work per month that practices previously performed manually. Pricing starts at $27/month. By automating eligibility verification, claims filing, and payment posting, Anagram enables eye care providers to focus on patient care rather than back-office tasks.
