+# Ibis — Healthcare Coordination
+
+> *Part of the Circuit Forge LLC "AI for the tasks you hate most" suite.*
+
+**Status:** Backlog — not yet started. Peregrine must prove the model first.
+
+## What it does
+
+Ibis manages the administrative nightmare of navigating healthcare: specialist referral tracking, waitlist monitoring, prescription renewal reminders, medical record request management, and prior authorization paper trails.
+
+The sacred ibis was the symbol of Thoth, Egyptian god of medicine, writing, and knowledge. The name carries genuine medical heritage.
+
+## Why it's hard
+
+Healthcare administration is uniquely hostile:
+- Referrals get lost between PCP and specialist — no one tracks them for you
+- Specialist waitlists have no visibility; calling every week is the only way to know
+- Medical record requests are legally your right (HIPAA) but practically stonewalled
+- Prior authorizations are separate from (and often in conflict with) claim disputes
+
+## Core pipeline
+
+```
+Log care need (referral, specialist, prescription, records request)
+→ Track status + deadlines → Auto-follow-up drafts (email / portal message)
+→ Monitor waitlist positions → Alert on cancellation slots
+→ Prior auth tracking → Escalation drafts if denied
+→ Medical records: generate HIPAA request letters, track delivery
+```
+
+## Key differentiators vs. Peregrine
+
+- HIPAA-aware: record requests, release of information, patient rights framing
+- Medication tracking: renewal timing, formulary alternatives, prior auth for Rx
+- Provider coordination: track multiple specialists, labs, imaging centers
+- No submission automation for clinical decisions — human approval on everything
+
+## Product code (license key)
+
+`CFG-IBIS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX`
+
+## Tech notes
+
+- Shared `circuitforge-core` scaffold
+- HIPAA request letter templates (per-state variations)
+- Email sync for portal message monitoring
+- Vision module: scan EOBs, prior auth notices, explanation letters
+- ⚠️ No clinical decision support — Ibis is administrative only, never medical advice
