Hi HN,
I'm launching Cloud Health Office v3.0.0 — an open-source platform for healthcare payer EDI integration.
## The Problem
Healthcare payers (insurance companies) spend 6-8 weeks integrating each new payer for EDI transactions (claims, eligibility, prior auth). The process is:
- Entirely manual
- Vendor lock-in heavy
- Compliance-intensive (HIPAA, CMS regulations)
- Expensive ($50k-$100k per integration)
With the CMS-0057-F deadline (Jan 1, 2027), most payers need to support FHIR APIs but have no clear path.
## What I Built
A production-ready platform that:
- Handles X12 EDI (270/271/276/277/278/837/835/275) ↔ FHIR R4 transformation
- Deploys to any cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP via Kubernetes)
- Zero-code payer onboarding (5 minutes vs weeks)
- CMS-0057-F compliant out of the box
- 424 automated tests
Tech stack: TypeScript/Node.js, Kubernetes, Argo Workflows, Kafka, HashiCorp Vault
## Why Open Source
Healthcare interoperability should be a solved problem. The industry is fragmented with proprietary solutions. I wanted to create a reference implementation that:
- Shows how to do FHIR properly
- Avoids vendor lock-in
- Reduces barrier to entry for health tech startups
- Helps payers meet regulatory deadlines
## Current Status
- v3.0.0 just shipped (multi-cloud support)
- 424 tests passing
- Production deployments in test environments
- Apache 2.0 license

Would love feedback from the HN community, especially around:
- Multi-cloud deployment patterns
- FHIR implementation edge cases
- Healthcare compliance automation
Happy to answer questions!
