VERTICAL ENFORCEMENT · HEALTHCARE
HIPAA coverage for clinical AI, administrative systems, and patient-facing tools.
THE REGULATORY CONTEXT
Healthcare AI is not a speculative market. It is a regulated medical device, a clinical decision support tool, and a patient communication platform all at once. Every AI system that touches Protected Health Information is subject to HIPAA. Every breach is a reportable event. Every fine is measured in millions. The average HIPAA settlement for AI-related incidents is $1.9 million and rising.
SCOPE
Applies to all healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, business associates, clinical AI vendors, and telehealth platforms using AI for diagnosis, treatment, administration, or patient communication.

RTFCT HEALTHCARE COVERAGE
REQUIREMENT
AI systems must implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic PHI. Access must be audited. Integrity must be verified.
RTFCT SOLUTION
Every AI inference request and response is cryptographically signed with SHA3-256 at the network edge. Access logs are immutable and append-only. No administrative overrides. The 1,095-day retention exceeds the maximum audit requirement.
COVERAGE: FULL STRUCTURAL COVERAGE
REQUIREMENT
AI systems must minimize PHI use and disclosure. Minimum necessary standard applies to all AI training and inference.
RTFCT SOLUTION
PHI detection and automatic redaction at inference time. The system scrubs patient identifiers from all AI responses before delivery. Training data access is restricted to the specific minimum necessary dataset per inference context.
COVERAGE: FULL STRUCTURAL COVERAGE
REQUIREMENT
Breaches of unsecured PHI affecting 500 or more individuals must be reported to HHS, media, and affected individuals within 60 days.
RTFCT SOLUTION
Automated breach detection and notification workflow. The system monitors for unauthorized PHI access patterns. If a breach threshold is detected, the notification package is generated automatically with the full evidentiary chain and affected individual list.
COVERAGE: FULL STRUCTURAL COVERAGE
REQUIREMENT
Healthcare AI systems must provide pre-use notices, adverse-outcome explanations, and human review rights.
RTFCT SOLUTION
Pre-use notice generation is automatic for all patient-facing AI. Adverse-outcome explanations are generated from the inference log. Human review rights are enforced through mandatory approval gates before clinical AI outputs are delivered.
COVERAGE: FULL STRUCTURAL COVERAGE
REQUIREMENT
Clinical AI systems must maintain post-market monitoring records, algorithm change logs, and performance validation data.
RTFCT SOLUTION
The VLT captures every algorithm version, every inference, and every performance metric. Post-market monitoring logs are generated automatically. Algorithm change documentation is cryptographically sealed and tamper-proof.
COVERAGE: FULL STRUCTURAL COVERAGE
REQUIREMENT
High-risk AI systems including clinical decision support must maintain logs, ensure human oversight, and provide transparency.
RTFCT SOLUTION
The VLT captures every clinical AI inference with full technical documentation, human oversight attestation, and transparency metadata. The evidentiary chain satisfies Article 50 logging requirements for high-risk AI systems.
COVERAGE: FULL STRUCTURAL COVERAGE
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Automatic identification and removal of patient identifiers from AI responses at inference time. Not post-hoc. At the moment of generation.
Standard BAA templates and vendor compliance packages included.
Training data and inference contexts are isolated. No cross-patient data leakage.
60-day notification packages generated automatically with full evidentiary support.
Every AI-assisted diagnosis, treatment recommendation, and patient communication is logged with clinician identity, timestamp, and cryptographic hash.
PRICING
$5,000 / month base
+ $800 / month per AI system
12-month minimum commitment. BAA templates and breach notification tooling included.
