Six-person team ships HIPAA-grade insurance-portal agents in three months
alex_verem · x · 2026-10-15
A PE operating partner asked for agents inside a prior-authorization platform submitting patient data to insurers under HIPAA. Legacy RPA bots broke so often that coordinators reverted to manual entry.
Key moves:
- Instead of rebuilding the whole platform, they targeted the most painful piece — portal automation — leaving case management, EHR links, and fax on the old system.
- Three months later, a team of six runs a production browser extension inside coordinators' workflows, iterating weekly instead of monthly.
Lesson for enterprise agents: don't replace the legacy stack whole; automate the bleeding edge first and design for compliance from day one.
