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

Claims adjudication is slow, manual, and generates costly disputes and appeals.
Fraud, waste, and abuse siphon roughly a tenth of every dollar spent.
Members distrust opaque denial logic and cannot verify their own claim history.
Coordinating benefits across payers requires sharing sensitive member data.

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.
