Norris Codex™ turns a worker's rough service note into an audit-ready 245D documentation draft in under two minutes — checking it against the elements DHS requires, flagging what's missing rather than inventing it, and keeping every fact and every final decision with the human.
The record that carries all of this risk is written, every shift, by the workforce hardest to keep. The stakes are rising on a published schedule — and the pressure is no longer only state-level: CMS's federal program-integrity contractors can draw a statistically valid random sample of a provider's Medicaid claims, and extrapolate what the sample shows across the provider's entire claims universe. For every sampled claim, the question is whether the record behind it supports it.
Minnesota now lets DHS fine a provider for missing required documentation — 20% of the claims paid or up to $5,000, whichever is less, and up to the greater of the two for repeat violations.
Minn. Stat. § 256B.064, subd. 2(g) · 2026 Minn. Laws Ch. 121Beginning April 1, 2027, enhanced prepayment review expands to at least 65% of all fee-for-service medical-assistance claims — with a five-business-day window to produce documentation on request.

Minnesota DHS Program Integrity · Revalidate 2026 (appeals data through June 9, 2026)With CMS approval, DHS extended its moratorium on enrolling new providers in 12 of the 14 identified high-risk services — July 27, 2026 through January 27, 2027, extendable. For the providers already enrolled, keeping that enrollment is everything — and the record behind every service is how it's kept.

A worker writes the way they actually write — fast and rough. Norris Codex™ structures it into the required fields and returns a reviewable draft in under two minutes.
When the input doesn't support a required element, it writes INFORMATION REQUIRED and prompts the worker — it never fills a gap with a plausible-sounding value, because a fabricated detail would be a fabricated record.
Every output is measured against the statute itself — Minnesota Statutes §245D.095, with the DHS Service Recipient Record Checklist treated as a cross-reference, not the authority — so each finding traces to the law it rests on. Incident-report timeliness is flagged under §245D.06.
Every artifact is a labeled draft requiring independent human judgment. The person supplies every fact and makes every final call; the software enforces completeness.
It works alongside the documentation system your team already uses — including SSIS — with no integration, no procurement, and no IT project. There is nothing to migrate and no workflow to rip out.
The 245D provider delivers the service and holds the license; the county — the lead agency — authorizes and coordinates it. Both are audited, by different bodies examining different documents, and both write their part of the record in the systems they already use. Norris Codex is the same engine on both sides; only the emphasis changes.
Your DSPs write the way they actually write — rough and fast. The engine returns an audit-ready draft built to 245D standards, the supervisor reviews it, and the billing reviewer can confirm the note supports the claim before anyone else ever tests it.
The Gap Analysis walks a service-recipient record against §245D.095 itself — confirming what's present, naming what's missing, and flagging what it cannot see — while there is still time to fix it.
SSIS, InSync, Procentive, a homegrown database, even Google Docs. The worker pastes in and pastes out. Nothing to migrate, nothing to integrate, nothing to rip out.
The HCBS Lead Agency Review examines the county's assessment, support-planning, and case-management documentation — and as a subrecipient of federal Medicaid dollars, a county carries federal Single Audit exposure. Norris Codex makes the county's own case-management record audit-ready, the same way, in the same two minutes.
Case managers use it for the chronology notes that carry the audit weight — intake contacts, coordination, and the follow-up record the plan requires — in its own window beside SSIS. It never reads, integrates with, or modifies the state's system, and it stores no client data.
County adoption maps to the eligible uses of Minnesota's enacted 2026 county-IT appropriation — $10 million through June 30, 2031 2026 Minn. Laws Ch. 120, §7 — non-dilutive grant dollars, not the general fund. And at launch, the same engine extends to adult-protection documentation on the same case-note path, with no new tool.
The questions an IT, security, or privacy reviewer asks first — answered by the architecture, not a promise.
The product operates without ingesting protected health information at the architectural layer. Pilots run on synthesized, fictional data.
No integration and no scraping. Content reaches Norris Codex™ only when a worker deliberately pastes it. Session data is cryptographically cleared; nothing is stored.
Inference runs on Amazon Bedrock in U.S. regions only, under enterprise non-training terms with minimal retention. Inputs are never used to train models.
Deploys as a Chrome extension through Chrome Enterprise policy — no new servers, no backend integration. A Business Associate Agreement, prepared by outside legal counsel, is available on request.
Norris Codex exists because the people who write Minnesota's service notes — the direct-support professionals and coordinators in a workforce that turns over faster than almost any other — carry the compliance risk of the organizations they hold up, and of the Minnesotans who depend on them. JR Fuller built Norris Codex to make that record defensible without ever putting a word in a worker's mouth: the human supplies every fact, the software enforces completeness, and every draft is answerable to independent human judgment.
He built it the way it has to work to be trusted — grounded in Minnesota statute rather than a vendor's checklist, carrying no protected health information by design, and refusing, as a matter of architecture, to invent a detail a worker didn't record. That discipline is the whole product, and it is the standard he holds the company to.
Norris Codex LLC is a minority-owned, founder-led Minnesota company — accountable to the field it serves, and building for the long term.
