Health Insurance on PYRAX
Health insurers drown in claims-adjudication overhead, fraud, and disputes while holding vast troves of sensitive member data. PYRAX automates adjudication and settlement through on-chain escrow, cuts fraud with tamper-evident claim provenance, and lets members and regulators verify fairness through viewing keys — all without exposing member PHI in the clear.

What's broken today
How PYRAX transforms it
Concrete network elements mapped to this business.
On-chain escrow for claims settlement
Verified claims trigger automatic escrow release to providers, collapsing adjudication-to-payment from weeks to near-instant and reducing disputes.
eth_getProof tamper-evident claims
Each claim and adjudication decision is committed and provable, so duplicate billing and altered claims are detectable and appeals reference an immutable record.
Shielded-by-default member data
Diagnoses, procedures, and member identities live off-chain as commitments; adjudication logic runs against proofs, not raw PHI.
Viewing keys for members and regulators
A member sees their full claim history via their own key; state insurance regulators audit denial patterns without accessing the whole book of business.
Multi-VM adjudication contracts
EVM/WASM/Cairo contracts encode coverage rules, coordination-of-benefits, and parametric payouts transparently and verifiably.
