“The algorithm boils down patients, and their unknowable journey through health care, into a tidy series of numbers and graphs.” https://www.statnews.com/... @caseymross @bobjherman
Insurers with huge financial interests are leveraging AI's power to help make life-altering decisions with little independent oversight. Read the full story from @caseymross and @bobjherman: https://www.statnews.com/...
A new industry has formed around Medicare Advantage plans to predict how many hours of therapy patients will need, which types of doctors they might see, and when they can leave a hospital or nursing home. https://www.statnews.com/...
Elderly people who spent their lives paying into Medicare, and are now facing amputation, fast-spreading cancers, and other devastating diagnoses, are left to either pay for their care themselves or get by without it. https://www.statnews.com/...
Using computer algorithms for prior authorization reduces administrative costs. But, it also could reduce trust in insurers by patients and physicians. And, it's not like trust starts out high. https://twitter.com/...
