A HIPAA-safe, on-premise AI platform for claims integrity — for hospitals and specialty practices. Real-time detection of coding errors, duplicate claims, and prior-authorization mismatches. PHI never leaves your environment.
How It Works
Cecurus sits between your billing system and the clearinghouse — analyzing every outbound claim inside your environment, before it ever reaches a payer.
A lightweight agent installs inside your existing environment. It monitors your outbound 837 file path — no EHR API credentials, no workflow disruption, no cloud data transfer. Setup takes days, not months.
Every claim is analyzed in memory the moment it's generated. Our AI + rule engine checks for coding errors, missing modifiers, prior-auth mismatches, medical necessity gaps, and duplicate claims — using only the minimum fields required.
Flagged claims surface in a local investigation interface for your billing and compliance teams — with plain-language explanations of every flag. Aggregate metrics appear in a cloud dashboard with no PHI, ever.
See what your team sees
When Cecurus flags a claim, this is what your billing and compliance team review — a plain-language explanation of what the rule engine caught, the estimated risk, and one-click actions. PHI never leaves the local browser.
Prior authorization on record does not cover CPT 27447 billed for this date of service.
Recommended action: verify auth or resubmit with correct auth number.
Detection Logic
Explainable AI + deterministic rules — designed to pass auditor review, tune to near-zero false positives, and evolve as our models learn from your claims.
Architecture
Two strict trust boundaries. PHI never crosses the second one.
Anchor Pilot
Cecurus is preparing its anchor pilot with an orthopedic specialty group in Virginia — a high-volume, high-complexity coding environment where preventable denials cost the most and pilot results show up in weeks, not quarters.
Our physician advisor is embedded in the pilot site and in the design of the detection logic itself.

The Team
Four co-founders with backgrounds spanning healthcare finance, machine learning, data science, and operations — building the claims integrity platform we wish existed when we saw the problem up close.
SK
The pattern was the same in every hospital we talked to: the errors were knowable months before anyone caught them. Nobody could look without moving the patient data somewhere it shouldn’t go. So we built the thing that looks without moving anything.
KB
The builder.
Owns Cecurus’s architecture, machine learning approach, and product design — the technical bet that lets detection happen on-premise without PHI leaving the environment. Prior startup co-founder. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Educational Policy, Planning, and Leadership.
TO
The insider.
Works in accounting and finance at a U.S. hospital by day — every Cecurus product decision gets pressure-tested against how a revenue cycle team actually operates. Prior information security auditor (HIPAA, NIST, ISO). M.S. in Finance.
KA
The bridge.
Sits between clinical partnerships and the data layer — calibrating detection against real claims and running the relationships that keep pilots moving. Previously in public health data analytics on Ghana’s COVID-19 self-testing program. Completing an M.S. in Data Analytics.
Who It's For
Three audiences. One platform. All on-premise.
Revenue Cycle Management
Reduce denied claims, rework costs, and clearinghouse fees. Get visibility into recurring billing patterns without adding headcount or centralizing patient data.
Compliance & Audit
Maintain a local audit trail of every flagged event and reviewer decision. Generate standardized monthly summaries for regulators — without ever touching PHI in the cloud.
Hospital IT & Security
Read-only directory access. No EHR API changes. No outbound PHI. Docker-based deployment that your security team can review, approve, and monitor.
Early Access
Cecurus is in active development. We're working with a select group of hospitals and specialty practices to validate our architecture, refine detection logic, and shape the product roadmap.
