PHI to a model is now a HIPAA, CIPA, and ERISA event.

Tokto records every prompt, every model summary, every ambient-listening capture, and every vendor data flow against the patient, the plan, the clinician, and the authorization, ready for OIG, CMS, the state DOI, and the appellate panel.

What keeps you up at night

A federal court orders the health plan to disclose source materials behind the AI tool used to manage post-acute care. The CISO has the model artifacts but no per-member trail. The same week, a state AG opens a CIPA inquiry on the ambient-listening clinical scribe and a HIPAA audit lands on the third-party vendor with the BAA nobody updated.

  • Every prompt tied to a member, a plan, a clinician, an authorization, and a denial code.
  • A complete record for OIG, CMS, the state DOI, the ERISA plaintiff, the appellate panel, and the HIPAA auditor.
  • Policy applied at the prompt: no AI denial without clinical review, no PHI to a vendor without contract.
  • Defensibility under class certification, ERISA scrutiny, CIPA wiretap claim, and HIPAA audit at once.
  • An AI tool denies a post-acute care claim with no recorded clinical review. The class moves past motion to dismiss on ERISA.
  • An ambient-listening scribe captures patient audio without consent and ships it to a third-party processor. CIPA, CMIA, and Federal Wiretap Act all open.
  • A vendor with PHI access has no current BAA, no audit trail, and no policy enforcement. HIPAA breach disclosure, OIG inquiry.
  • The plan is asked to produce algorithmic disclosure on a federal order. The model team and the legal team produce inconsistent answers.

Tokto sits between the plan's AI tools and the patient record. Utilization-management co-pilots, ambient clinical scribes, prior-authorization triage models, and vendor APIs all flow through the system of record. Each output is attributable to the member, the plan, the clinician, and the disclosure language active that day.

When the District of Minnesota orders algorithmic disclosure, when an ERISA appellate panel asks how a denial was clinically reviewed, when a state AG opens a CIPA wiretap inquiry, the record is the same record. The CISO is no longer a witness reconstructing facts under deposition pressure.
