Rickovery™ — patented verification & continuous aftercare

Two problems, one patented platform: stop behavioral-health billing fraud with tamper-proof attendance verification, and keep people supported between every session.

Fraud prevention & compliance

Make phantom billing structurally impossible.

The behavioral-health system has long relied on self-reported sign-in sheets and provider attestation — the exact gap that enabled Arizona's multi-billion-dollar AHCCCS fraud. Rickovery closes it with independent, machine-verified proof that a specific patient was present for a specific session with a specific provider.

  • RF / Bluetooth Low Energy presence verification at entry and throughout the session
  • Session-to-patient-to-provider matching tied to the individual treatment plan
  • Cryptographic, tamper-proof chain-of-custody log — legally admissible and exportable to CMS and Medicaid Fraud Control Units
  • Biometric anti-fraud: unique-selfie AI checks, anti-bot gesture analysis, device-farm detection
  • Automated billing engine that blocks claims when verified attendance falls short
CHAIN OF CUSTODY

Every session — who was present, when, for how long, with which provider, delivering what content — captured, timestamped, and cryptographically sealed. The data architecture is protected by U.S. Patent 8,760,299 B2 and is HIPAA- and 42 CFR Part 2-compliant.

How verification works

1 · Identify

RF/BLE readers confirm patient presence at entry and continuously during the session — not self-reported.

2 · Match

Verified presence is linked to the scheduled session, the assigned provider, and the treatment plan.

3 · Seal

All data is cryptographically logged into a tamper-proof, audit-ready chain of custody.

4 · Verify

Biometric and anti-bot layers confirm each record is genuine before any claim can be billed.

EVERY DAY, NOT JUST SESSION DAY

The same platform that protects payers keeps members engaged: just-in-time reminders and micro-interventions that boost attendance, reinforce coping skills, and reduce family stress between appointments.

Continuous support & aftercare

Recovery that stays connected.

Rickovery's consumer side is a privacy-first companion for the long haul:

  • Daily check-ins, personalized day-planning, and therapy-homework prompts
  • Guided Stoic reframing and an optional Christian faith track
  • Role-based modules for individuals, couples, and groups
  • Points and rewards for attendance, on-time check-ins, and participation
  • Clinician dashboard with secure, HIPAA & 42 CFR Part 2 data controls

Frequently asked questions

Is Rickovery patented?

Yes. Rickovery is built on U.S. Patent 8,760,299 B2 (Data Chain of Custody, Behavior Analytics and Modification), held by founder Michael Roth.

How does it prevent Medicaid fraud?

It replaces self-reported attendance with independent RF/BLE verification, biometric anti-fraud checks, and a cryptographic chain of custody, and it blocks billing when verified attendance falls below program thresholds.

Is it compliant with health-privacy law?

Rickovery is designed to be HIPAA-compliant and 42 CFR Part 2-compliant, with audit trails structured to be legally admissible and exportable to CMS and state Medicaid agencies.

Does Rickovery also help patients?

Yes — beyond verification, it provides continuous between-session support: check-ins, day-planning, coping-skill reinforcement, and family-inclusive modules.
