What the H3 Autonomous Agentic Suite Solves

Behavioral health and addiction treatment providers face systemic administrative friction from commercial payers. H3 automates parity defense, underpayment recovery, and operational compliance.

Premature Step-Down & CARC 50 Denials

Commercial payers systematically cut coverage before patients are clinically stabilized. H3 grounds appeals in ASAM 6-dimension criteria and federal MHPAEA parity mandates to overturn arbitrary medical necessity denials.

CARC 50 · Medical Necessity Challenge

CARC 197 Prior Auth Bottlenecks

Payers exploit retroactive authorization delays to freeze cash flow. H3 cross-references submission timestamps against emergency care statutes and admission records to enforce timely-filing and retro-auth rules.

CARC 197 / RARC N702 · Prior Auth Absent

Prompt-Pay Violations & Underpayments

Insurers regularly underpay fee schedules and withhold remittances past statutory limits. H3 runs pure Decimal math to enforce contractual allowances and calculate mandatory 15% p.a. statutory interest under CA Knox-Keene § 1371.35 & ERISA § 502.

TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE SPECIFICATION

Built Natively on Google Cloud & Vertex AI

Our 7-stage production architecture (`h3-healthcare-prod`, us-west2) combines fail-closed Zero-PHI data protection with bounded Gemini 2.5 reasoning and deterministic financial ledgers.

01

Custodial & API Ingestion

Encrypted Intake Vaults

835/837P EDI drops, CSV remits, and Kipu/Navix EMR exports ingest directly into CMEK-encrypted Cloud Storage buckets (gs://h3-claim-raw-intake, gs://h3-vault-facility, gs://h3-vault-litigation) protected by Cloud KMS.

Cloud Storage Cloud KMS CMEK 835/837P EDI
02

Deterministic Gates 1 & 2

Cloud DLP & Tenant Isolation

Google Cloud Sensitive Data Protection (Cloud DLP GATE-001) performs fail-closed Zero-PHI redaction before any processing. SHA-256 tenant/matter cryptographic isolation (GATE-002) strictly segregates client and matter data.

Google Cloud DLP SHA-256 Hashes Zero-PHI Gate
03

Deterministic Financial Reconciler

Pure Decimal Mathematics

Zero LLM arithmetic authority. Proprietary Python reconcile.py enforces Underpayment = max(0.00, Allowed - Paid) and calculates statutory prompt-pay interest schedules (e.g. 15% p.a. under CA Knox-Keene § 1371.35 and ERISA § 502) with zero hallucination risk.

JEV Decision Engine & Model Router

Cost-Optimized Cloud Tasks Queue

Pattern J3 dynamic routing dispatches simple administrative denials to Gemini 2.5 Flash and complex multi-issue clinical/parity disputes to Gemini 2.5 Pro via asynchronous Cloud Tasks (jev-shadow-queue).

Bounded Vertex AI Reasoner

Strict Pydantic v2 Schema Binding

Sandboxed Gemini execution at temperature=0.0 via the official google-genai SDK. Constrained strictly to Pydantic v2 structured JSON schemas and bound exclusively to verbatim extracted evidence IDs (EV-xxx).

Two-Tier Evidence Admission & Quarantine

Gates 3–8 Verification

Verification engine routes valid assertions into canonical_admission.py while isolating unverified or non-conforming citations into finding_quarantine.json, strictly preventing hallucinated citations and enforcing non-clinical / non-attorney UPL boundaries.

Audit Ledgers & Zero-PHI Neo4j Graph

Cloud Firestore, BigQuery & Graph

State persistence in Cloud Firestore (claim_runs), JEV shadow grounding telemetry streamed to BigQuery (h3_analytics.jev_shadow_evaluations), and tokenized payer denial patterns mapped in an isolated Neo4j Knowledge Graph (:H3:ClaimCase, :H3:Payer).
