Austin Mills is an entrepreneur and co-founder of Codes Health, a health technology and legal technology company that automates medical record retrieval using artificial intelligence. Codes Health participated in Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch.[1]
Career
Mills co-founded Codes Health in 2024 alongside Cody Durr, who serves as co-founder and chief technology officer, and Alvaro Rivera, who serves as co-founder and chief executive officer. The company is headquartered in New York.[1] Mills's specific functional title within the company has not been publicly disclosed in available sources.
Codes Health addresses a longstanding problem in both the healthcare and legal industries: the fragmented and error-prone process of collecting patient medical records. Medical documents are typically scattered across multiple electronic health record (EHR) systems, healthcare providers, and fax-based communications. Compiling a complete patient history has traditionally required numerous manual requests, repeated follow-ups, and significant labor, resulting in delays and incomplete documentation. The company uses artificial intelligence to automate the retrieval, compilation, and analysis of medical records, aiming to reduce human error and processing delays inherent in that workflow.[2]
The company's services are primarily directed at law firms, particularly those involved in personal injury litigation and mass tort cases, as well as healthcare providers. Codes Health's platform gathers medical and billing records on behalf of clients, automatically generates case chronologies, and extracts relevant clinical insights such as buried diagnoses or treatments that may be pertinent to legal proceedings. The company describes its offering as supporting cases "from claim to trial," functioning as an outsourced pre-litigation department without the associated overhead.[2]
Codes Health operates at the intersection of several industries, categorized by Y Combinator as operating in artificial intelligence, health tech, business-to-business (B2B), and legal technology.[1] The market for AI-driven medical record retrieval is competitive and growing, with established players such as MedPort and Record Retrieval Solutions also offering record collection services to law firms and insurers, though Codes Health distinguishes its approach through AI-generated case chronologies and automated clinical insight extraction rather than manual or semi-manual fulfillment processes.
Education
Mills studied at Yale University.[1] Details about his field of study or year of graduation have not been confirmed in available public sources.
