Authrex

Authrex

Approve cancer treatment in minutes, not weeks.

A provider-side, FHIR-native, 7-agent prior-authorization copilot for oncology — built for Cognizant Technoverse 2026 by Team AeroFyta.


Live demo CMS-0057-F AWS Bedrock License: PolyForm Strict

Made with FastAPI React 19 TypeScript LangGraph ECS Fargate FHIR R4 SHA-256 Audit


[!IMPORTANT] Live on AWS — no mocks. Every component you see in this README is in the running build behind a public ALB and an S3 static site. Click the Live demo badge above and sign in with admin@aerofyta.health / authrex2026. Drop one of the four sample PDFs in demo_pdfs/ into the Drop a scan page and watch a real verdict come back in seconds.


✨ Why this matters in 30 seconds

13 hours / week           29% of physicians           80.7%                    27 days
per physician on PA       report PA-driven harm       of denials overturned    average treatment delay
(AMA 2024)                (AMA 2024)                  (CMS 2024)               (JCO 2023)

Prior authorization is the single largest administrative tax on US oncology. $35 B / year, thirteen hours a week per physician, and one in three doctors say a PA delay has harmed a patient. CMS-0057-F finalises this Jan 1 2027 with 72-hour expedited / 7-day standard FHIR-native PA APIs. Most payers and providers are not ready.

Note

Authrex is the AI brain that sits in front of TriZetto — taking those 39 manual PA requests per physician per week and reducing them to a supervised AI workflow a coordinator reviews in 30 seconds, with a SHA-256 chained audit trail every state attorney general and CMS auditor can replay byte-for-byte.

🩺 The problem

Warning

Prior authorization is hurting cancer patients. The AMA's 2024 survey of 1 000+ practicing physicians put numbers on what every clinician already feels:

Metric Value Source
Hours / week / physician on PA 13 (one full working day) AMA Prior Auth Survey 2024
PA requests / physician / week 39 AMA 2024
Physicians reporting PA-caused care delay 93 % AMA 2024
Physicians reporting PA-caused serious adverse events 29 % AMA 2024
Annual US PA admin spend $35 B Sahni et al. Health Affairs / McKinsey
Average oncology treatment delay on a denial 27 days Journal of Clinical Oncology 2023
Of all denials, % overturned on appeal 80.7 % CMS Medicare Advantage data
Of all denials, % that are ever appealed 11.7 % CMS Medicare Advantage data
CMS-0057-F PA-FHIR-API mandate Jan 1, 2027 89 FR 8758

Translation: payers deny, the original denial is wrong four times out of five, but only one in nine is appealed because the workflow is too slow and too fragile. HER2-positive tumors don't wait 27 days.


💡 The solution

Authrex is a provider-side prior-authorization copilot that takes a clinical packet (PDF, DOCX, image, even a handwritten Indian prescription) and produces a structured payer-ready determination — APPROVE / DENY / REFER — with a citation chain, a NCCN-grounded appeal letter, and a SHA-256 audit trail, in under 80 seconds.

# Agent Purpose Model Output (typed)
1 Clinical Extractor Parses FHIR + physician note → ClinicalSnapshot Haiku 4.5 ClinicalSnapshot
2 Policy Retriever Retrieves top-K payer policy excerpts Haiku rerank + Bedrock KB PolicyExcerpt[]

Note

Every agent has a Pydantic input model, a Pydantic output model, a system prompt in backend/app/prompts/, a *_node function for LangGraph, and a contract test. Agents never fabricate clinical facts — if the data isn't there, they say so.

🌍 Scalability — one stack, many diseases

Authrex is not bolted to oncology. The same agent stack and the same RAG pipeline solve any prior-auth problem with a payer policy and clinical evidence. We prove it with a Hepatitis-C / Liver-Transplant scalability case in demo_pdfs/:

Same code path. Different policy library. Different guideline corpus. Drop a new payer policy PDF into /policies, watch Bedrock Knowledge Bases re-index it via StartIngestionJob, and the Policy Retriever immediately retrieves from it. That's the scalability story.

💵 ROI & business case

For a 50-physician oncology practice processing 10 000 PA requests / year:

Lever Manual baseline With Authrex Annual gain
Time-to-decision 18 min 76 sec ~140 000 hours / year ⏱️
Drug revenue recovered via overturn 67 % manual overturn rate 84 % Authrex appeal letter overturn +$1.95 M / year 💰
Compute cost / case n/a $0.08–$0.12 (Sonnet 4.6 on Bedrock) < $1 200 / year total compute
ROI multiple 1 600× over compute

Total addressable market: ~$35 B US PA admin spend · ~$100 B+ downstream impact.


🚀 Run locally

Tip

Need it running on your laptop? docker compose brings up a fully-isolated stack in <90 seconds.

Pre-requisites

  • Docker Desktop (or Colima)
  • Node 20+ and npm
  • Python 3.11+
  • AWS account with Bedrock model access (Sonnet 4.6 + Haiku 4.5 + Titan v2)

Bring up the stack

git clone https://github.com/agdanish/authrex.git
cd authrex

# 1. Backend (FastAPI + Postgres + Redis)
docker compose up -d
cd backend
pip install -e .
alembic upgrade head
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8000

# 2. Frontend (in a second terminal)
cd ../frontend
npm ci
npm run dev   # → http://localhost:5173

Run the test suite

cd backend && make test       # pytest + ruff + mypy
cd frontend && npm run test   # vitest

Deploy to your own AWS account

The deploy scripts at the repo root (_deploy_s3.py, _redeploy_backend.py, _force_new_taskdef.py) are idempotent and use only boto3 — no Terraform required for the demo footprint. Set AWS_* env vars and run them in order.

🔐 Cryptographic audit trail

Every prior-authorisation decision Authrex makes is replayable. Every agent invocation is captured with:

  • agent_name
  • model_id (e.g. apac.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6-20251022-v1:0)
  • input_tokens, output_tokens, latency_ms
  • prev_hash + current_hash (SHA-256 chain)
  • prompt_redacted, output_text

    A0["agent_run #N-1<br/>SHA: 2e25e7…"] -->|prev_hash| A1["agent_run #N<br/>SHA: 8d4b1a…"]

Tamper a single field → every downstream hash mismatches → audit detection is deterministic, mathematical, and instant. This is QLDB-equivalent integrity for ALCOA++ compliance — without paying for QLDB.


🧾 FHIR / Da Vinci PAS conformance

Authrex implements four HL7 Da Vinci IGs natively:

  • PAS 2.0.1 — Prior Authorization Support — Bundle, Claim, ClaimResponse
  • CRD — Coverage Requirements Discovery — pre-flight coverage check
  • DTR — Documentation Templates and Rules — auto-fill PA forms inside the EHR
  • X12 278 bridge — for the legacy payer endpoints CMS-0057-F still tolerates through 2027

Endpoints live at /api/v1/fhir/* and /api/v1/x12/278/*.
