How Upheld is designed to operate

Clinical Revenue Integrity is not coding theater and not a CMS grouper. Every finding is advisory until a clinician or QA owner acts.

Human-in-the-loop

AI surfaces and prioritizes. Clinicians and QA accept, dismiss, or correct.

Findings never auto-write to an EMR or claim system in Free Chart Scan.

PHI & BAA

Prefer de-identified or synthetic packets for Free Chart Scan until a Business Associate Agreement is signed.

Free scan retention is time-limited. Agency settings track BAA posture (none / pending / signed).

We do not train base models on customer PHI without explicit, documented consent.

Capture vs protect dollars

Capture — potential revenue if documentation supports additional coding/comorbidity accuracy (not upcoding beyond the record).

Protect — exposure if the chart is submitted with denial, LUPA, or compliance gaps.

Both are advisory estimates anchored to CMS national standardized rates.

CMS CY 2026 rate anchors

National standardized amounts · not a remittance or grouper

CMS CY 2026 HH PPS Final Rule (CMS-1828-F) — national standardized 30-day period & per-visit rates. Actual payment = base × case-mix weight × wage index. Upheld estimates are advisory only.

Abuse controls & retention

Free Chart Scans are rate-limited per email, network, and agency to prevent abuse.

Free scans expire after a configurable retention window and can be purged via scheduled job (expired FREE type only — pilot/full history is retained).

Encryption & infrastructure

Chart text and evidence excerpts can be encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) when field encryption is enabled in the environment.

Hosting: Vercel · Database: Neon Postgres · Email: Resend · OCR (scanned PDFs): Azure Document Intelligence. Complete BAAs with each subprocessor before identifiable PHI production use.

Paid pilot checkout (Stripe) is optional and currently deferred — pilot interest is collected by form and email only.

Live platform status: /status. How scores and dollars are computed: /calculations.

What we are not

  • Not an EMR or system of record
  • Not a certified CMS HIPPS grouper
