CureIS Launches Enterprise-Grade Autonomous AI Agents
Innovative Platform Combines Verified Healthcare Data with Agentic AI, Targeting 80% Reduction in Manual Interventions
Tucson, AZ– November 12, 2025 – CureIS Healthcare, an innovator in technology solutions for value-based managed care, today announced the launch of its Agentic AI Initiative, a first-of-its-kind system that combines pristine, AI-ready healthcare data with agentic intelligence to tackle waste in healthcare administration. The program introduces tactical “AI Analysts” that autonomously navigate complex healthcare systems to resolve compliance and operational challenges without human intervention.
The launch confronts a paradox in the industry: while AI promises efficiency, its deployment on flawed data can achieve the opposite. According to a recent MIT study, 95% of enterprise AI pilots, most in healthcare, failed to deliver expected ROI, with data quality issues and scalability cited as the leading causes.
“AI isn’t a magic wand. It’s a precision tool that requires flawless data to deliver its full value,” said Chris Sawotin, CureIS CEO. “For any healthcare organization, data integrity is now the single most critical risk mitigation strategy for AI adoption.”
CureIS anchors its AI agents in the company’s UniSync™ Healthcare Data Management Platform (HDMP+), a proprietary architecture that ingests, conforms, validates, and enriches data from disparate sources into a single, unbreakable source of truth. “Data integrity isn’t an afterthought for us,” Sawotin explained. “It’s the core of our architecture. What sets our AI Initiative apart is the combination of deep healthcare operational expertise, advanced AI capabilities, and data mastery.”
In pilot implementations, CureIS is targeting operational bottlenecks that have traditionally required significant manual intervention, such as eligibility verification, enrollment file corrections, claims reconciliation, and Medicaid redetermination.
Beyond efficiency gains, CureIS AI agents generate a structured dataset of operational challenges and resolutions, fueling the company’s R&D pipeline and creating a virtuous cycle of automation. “Our ethos has always been about nimble adaptation and innovation. The human-AI synergy enables us to realize our vision faster.”

CureIS Files Lawsuit Against Epic Alleging Monopolistic Conduct, Libel, and Data Blocking
Woodbury, MN – May 14, 2025 – CureIS Healthcare, Inc., which specializes in technologies that enable managed services for government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, filed a lawsuit today against healthcare IT behemoth, Epic Systems Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Represented by Big-Bully nemesis, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, the company alleges that Epic has engaged in a multi-pronged “scheme to destroy” its business.
The complaint accuses Epic of exploiting its market power as the dominant provider of electronic health records (EHR)—controlling records for 81–94% of U.S. patients—to eliminate competitors like CureIS in the managed care data reconciliation (MCDR) software market, asserting: “Epic is feeding its need for more and more cash, even if it means depriving those in the most need of the best possible options for healthcare services.” The complaint further states: “Epic’s unfair and illegal conduct hits managed care organizations particularly hard, because they must make do with the least resources, but are still forced by Epic to pay bloated fees in exchange for mediocrity and ineptitude from Epic’s products and services.”
The complaint alleges that by leveraging its market dominance to impose an “Epic-first Policy,” Epic strong-armed customers to abandon CureIS solutions in favor of subpar or nonexistent Epic alternatives, stating: “Epic’s pattern of deceptive practices—knowingly misrepresenting product capabilities, failing to deliver promised solutions, and advertising products it has no intention of building—is central to its efforts to monopolize the healthcare IT market.”
CureIS CEO, Chris Sawotin, said, “CureIS was founded to address the chronic inefficiencies plaguing government-managed care programs. Epic’s playbook—prioritizing market control over transparency, accountability, and performance—is philosophically antithetical to our mission.”
Epic’s alleged monopolistic conduct and information blocking was also the basis of a 2024 lawsuit filed by start-up data platform company, Particle Health, Particle’s complaint refers to: “a calculated move by Epic to stifle competition. No competitors could challenge EPP because Epic made it commercially impossible for any payer platform other than EPP to access records stored in Epic’s EHR software.”
The CureIS complaint identifies Epic’s iron grip on electronic health records as a lever to crush competition, balloon costs and hinder efficiency in government-funded healthcare programs, which some 145 million Americans rely on. “This lawsuit is a stand for innovation, integrity, and fair competition in healthcare IT,” Sawotin said. “It’s about ensuring payers have access to the best tools, not just the ones Epic dictates. Epic’s strategy of lowering the bar—rather than raising its own standards—exposes the limitations of its products and the false claims made about their capabilities. By restricting data access, misrepresenting what they offer, and coercing customers into inferior tools, Epic is not out-innovating the market—they are trying to control it. CureIS is fighting to defend our right to offer better solutions, protect our team’s livelihoods, and ensure government healthcare is not fleeced by a profit-hungry giant indifferent to the people who need these programs.

CureIS Announces Global Works/Optum Product Options
Woodbury, MN – April 8, 2025
