SehaTech Raises USD 1.1M to Automate Health Insurance Operations in Egypt and MENA
SehaTech, an Egyptian InsurTech, secured USD 1.1 million in seed funding to scale its AI-driven automation platform for health insurance. The company plans to expand its team, deepen its AI stack, and grow across Egypt and the wider MENA region.
The round was led by Ingressive Capital, with participation from Plus VC, A15, Beltone Venture Capital, an industry veteran, and a group of angel investors. SehaTech was founded by Mohamed Elshabrawy, Mostafa Tarek, and Omar Shawky.
What SehaTech Builds
SehaTech offers a full-stack platform centered on AI and a rule-based engine to automate approvals, claims, and payments. The goal is clear: reduce administrative friction between insurers and providers, cut fraud and abuse, and bring transparency to core workflows.
- Automated pre-authorization and medical necessity checks
- Claims triage, coding validation, and adjudication support
- Anomaly and duplicate detection to reduce leakage
- Audit trails and configurable rules for policy and benefit enforcement
Why It Matters for Insurers
For carriers and TPAs, the value shows up in fewer manual touches, lower loss adjustment expense, and faster cycle times. By standardizing decisions with explainable rules and machine learning, teams can focus human review on high-risk cases instead of routine volume.
- Higher straight-through processing with measurable turnaround time gains
- Improved provider satisfaction from faster, clearer decisions
- Reduced fraud, waste, and abuse through consistent detection and flagging
What They Said
"Our goal is to fix operational inefficiencies in medical insurance processing and expand access to quality health coverage. This funding will help us continue building the tools needed to reduce friction between insurers and providers-and make health insurance more available to the millions who are underserved today," said Mohamed Elshabrawy, Founder & CEO of SehaTech.
"SehaTech's work is critical in solving a deeply entrenched problem at the heart of healthcare delivery-especially in regions where infrastructure gaps hinder access to quality services," said Maya Horgan Famodu, Founder & Managing Partner at Ingressive Capital.
What To Watch Next
- Rollout across Egypt and new MENA markets
- Deeper AI models paired with configurable rules for explainability
- Partnerships with insurers, TPAs, and provider networks
Practical Checklist for Insurance Leaders
- Integration: APIs, data formats, and timelines with existing claims/TPA systems
- Governance: model explainability, override logs, versioning, and audit trails
- Accuracy: false positive/negative rates for fraud flags and medical necessity
- Operations: human-in-the-loop workflows, SIU collaboration, and exception handling
- Security: PHI protection, access controls, and regional compliance
- ROI: baseline KPIs (TAT, STP rate, leakage, provider disputes) and savings model
Bottom Line
Automating the backbone of health insurance-pre-auth, claims, and payments-creates direct financial and service-level gains. SehaTech's funding signals a push to bring these gains to Egypt and MENA with an AI- and rules-led approach built for scale.
