The agentic operations layer for life and health insurance

Operators, not copilots.

Oxynth deploys autonomous agents into modern life & health policy administration systems to run operations end to end — claims, underwriting, servicing. Native to the platforms carriers already run. Starting with FNOL.

the 7% problem

The industry isn't short on AI. It's short on production.

Every carrier has run a pilot. Almost none have moved one into production. The gap between activity and scale is the defining fact of AI in insurance — and it is the gap Oxynth is built to close.

87%

of life insurers use AI in at least one operational area

have taken tangible action — though 90% of insurance executives agree work must be reinvented around human-machine collaboration

Deloitte, 2026 outlook ↗

The few who did scale are large enterprises with internally built copilots, or single-step point tools — not third-party operators running mid-market life & health workflows end to end on modern PAS.

The window is open now for two reasons: agentic systems crossed a production-reliability threshold in 2024–25 — not research-grade, but deployable on a real book of business — and modern PAS vendors matured their API layers in the same period, making native agent integration possible without middleware workarounds. Both conditions needed to be true. They are, as of this year.

why copilots can't close the gap

Modern PAS are event-driven. Claims work is case-driven.

A modern policy administration system processes events. A claim filed is one event; a document received is another; a payment processed is a third. The platform handles each one correctly — and none of them is the case. An examiner needs the whole thread: every event, across time, with policy context and external evidence, ending in one operational outcome.

So carriers build intermediate layers — workbenches, claim desktops, case modules — to translate an event-driven system into case-driven work. That layer is where the manual work actually lives. It is also where the last three years of AI tools were aimed: copilots that make a human faster at operating a workaround.

"I built these workbench layers for production carriers — twice. Halfway through the second build it was clear the gap wasn't carrier-specific. It was structural."— Arun Mallavarapu, founder

A copilot speeds up one step. The workflow keeps the same queues, handoffs, and decision gates, so cycle time barely moves — it is bounded by the workflow's structure, not by typing speed. An operator is the different intervention: an agent that owns the workflow between the events, end to end: it decides what your rules and the data allow, and hands a human only the exceptions instead of a backlog.

Your workbench doesn't disappear — the manual assembly inside it does. The agent operates your existing systems, including the workbench, as a governed system actor; your examiners keep the same screens to review, override, and decide.

Today — the workbench compensates

PAS events → workbench → human assembles → human decides
queues · handoffs · 3–5 days for clean cases

With Oxynth — the agent operates

PAS events → agent assembles, verifies & decides → human handles exceptions
minutes to a decision · exceptions routed with full context · every step logged
what an operator does

Agents that run the workflow — not popups that suggest.

Each agent owns a bounded operation and runs it to completion. The first is FNOL. Underwriting triage and servicing exceptions follow — same architecture, different operation.

Operates the workflow

The agent owns a defined operation and runs it end to end — clean cases straight through, exceptions escalated to your team. No suggestion popups. No human-in-the-middle by default.

Lives inside your modern PAS

Native deployment into modern PAS — OIPA, Majesco, Sapiens, EIS — and the claims, document, and payment systems around them. No parallel stack. No second source of truth to reconcile.

Audited, every step

Every read, decision, and action is logged, structured, and reviewable. Override any step. Reverse any action. Built for regulated operations from day one.

wedge product

The first agent: FNOL — built for life & health.

First Notice of Loss is bounded, measurable, and where most of the wait sits before a decision is made. And life & health FNOL is not P&C FNOL — it means claims with contestability windows, beneficiary verification, medical evidence, and regulated, compassionate communication. That is the workflow this agent is built for.

  • Notification triageClassify claim type — death, last expense, critical illness, disability — and flag contestability and duplicate notifications within minutes of receipt.
  • Policy verificationIn force, premiums current, riders, exclusions, contestability window — read directly from the PAS, not re-keyed.
  • Document assemblyDeath certificates, physician statements, claimant ID, beneficiary forms — structured into the case file; missing items requested automatically.
  • Beneficiary verificationDesignation match, dispute flags, payout instructions captured for the examiner.
  • Claimant communicationAcknowledgements, status updates, and document requests in regulated, compassionate language — a coordinator, not a chatbot.
  • Decision, or handoffThe agent decides what your rules and the data allow, and closes the case to payment-ready. When they don't allow it, the case goes to an examiner with the full reasoning attached: by rule (outside the authority you delegated), by data (missing, conflicting or unverifiable evidence), or by confidence (below a threshold you set).

Carriers have been offered four answers. None closed the gap.

Copilots
Help a human work faster inside the same workflow. The queues, handoffs, and decision gates stay — so cycle time barely moves.
RPA
Replays clicks. Brittle on every UI change, needs a permanent automation team, and never actually owns the work.
BPO
The same manual work, at lower wage cost, under a multi-year contract. No architectural change; the cycle time stays.
PAS-vendor AI
Built to deepen lock-in to one platform. Useful inside that boundary; structurally unable to operate across your stack.
Horizontal agentic platforms
Real agents, built broad — largely P&C and reinsurance, PAS-agnostic. Breadth is their product; life & health depth on modern PAS is ours.
Oxynth — the operator
Owns the bounded workflow end to end on modern PAS, across platforms. Delivered as a managed service, live in weeks, priced on measured savings — and you set the rules and thresholds the agent decides within.
how a pilot works

Fixed fee. Fixed scope. Your baseline. Four to twelve weeks.

A pilot is a fixed-fee engagement on a defined claim volume, measured against your own baseline — no license, no seats, no internal AI team required. Production pricing is set against the savings measured during the pilot, and agreed before the pilot begins. Fixed annual, outcome-linked, or a combination — whichever your finance team can plan against.

week 1

Connect

Read-only integration to your PAS, document, and comms systems. Scope locked, baseline measured.

week 3

Shadow

The agent runs silently against live volume. You compare its output to your team's, case by case.

week 5

Supervised

The agent acts; your team approves each step. Thresholds tuned on real exceptions.

week 7

Autonomous

Clean cases run straight through within thresholds you set. Exceptions route to your queue.

Scope sets the clock. A single bounded process can reach a go/no-go in six weeks; a full FNOL deployment across live volume takes twelve. Either way the decision is made on the data, not on a demo.

Zero-touch FNOL rate

Share of notifications that complete the full pipeline — triage, policy, documents, beneficiary, routing — without a human touch. Target: 65–80% of clean cases.

Time to decision-ready

Median time from notification received to a classified, verified, document-complete case with a decision or a routed exception.

Completeness at handoff

Share of cases handed to an examiner with no rework — complete documents, structured fields, clean policy state.

All three measure work the agent owns end to end. The agent stops at payment-ready; settlement timing depends on your payment systems — we don't score ourselves on cycle time we don't control. Real numbers will be published after the first two pilots close, including the misses.

Design partners

We're selecting 3–5 life & health carriers on modern PAS for the first FNOL pilots: founder-level attention through deployment, production pricing agreed and locked before the pilot begins, and a jointly published outcome write-up.

Control is the product.

  • Confidence thresholds you set, per step. Below threshold, the case routes to your team — the agent never guesses on your book.
  • Override on every step. Any agent action can be reviewed and reversed by your examiners, with the full reasoning trail attached.
  • Kill switch. Pause the agent instantly; work flows back to your queues unchanged. No unwind project.
  • Immutable audit log. Every read, decision, and action — structured, timestamped, exportable to your compliance team.
  • Shadow mode, anytime. Re-validate the agent silently after product, rule, or regulatory changes before returning it to autonomy.
  • Document scope, stated plainly. The agent parses certificate format and issuer from the submitted PDF. Cross-check against a national death registry is out of scope for v0 — this boundary is explicit in every pilot agreement.
security & data

Built for regulated operations.

  • Your data never trains foundation models. Carrier and claimant data is processed for your operations only.
  • HIPAA-grade data handling by design for medical evidence and claimant records. Claimant PHI transits only under data-processing agreements; no PHI is used for model training. BAA available to design partners on request.
  • Regional hosting options for data-sovereignty requirements, by market.
  • SOC 2 Type II readiness program underway; security documentation available to design partners on request.
  • Role-based access aligned to your PAS roles — the agent operates as a governed, first-class system actor, not a shared login.

Two decades inside insurance technology — not adjacent to it. Six years leading modern policy administration implementations for life & health carriers, including two end-to-end production deliveries across the Middle East and Africa on systems that run live books of business today.

Before that: operations work with major US health payors, and most recently, shipping production agentic-AI systems. The conviction behind Oxynth comes from building carrier workbench layers by hand, twice — and recognizing that the layer itself is what should be operated by an agent.
