AI increasingly decides whether patients get medical care
Original: AI is deciding whether or not people receive medical care
Health insurers are turning to artificial intelligence to help determine whether patients are approved for medical care, including prior authorization decisions in programs like Medicare. Reports point to companies such as UnitedHealth, Cigna and Humana using automated systems, and critics warn the algorithms may wrongly deny coverage while saving insurers money. The debate centers on patient safety versus efficiency.
Why now: Growing concern that insurers' use of AI is leading to wrongful care denials for patients.
