CMS will partner with private companies that specialize in enhanced technologies, like AI or machine learning, to assess coverage for select items and services delivered through Medicare.
In particular, the American Hospital Association expressed concerns regarding the participating vendor payment structure, which it says incentivizes denials at the expense of physician medical judgment.
This is going to be even MORE corrupt than what we have today, and its going to hurt people even more. Meanwhile enriching AI tech bros off the already bloated medical system in this country.
According to CMS, companies participating in the program will receive “a percentage of the savings associated with averted wasteful, inappropriate care as a result of their reviews.”
Yeah, the fed will now be paying these assholes for denying care to people.
It MIGHT not be a bad idea if the AI can overrule what “insurance” was going to deny you
I hope y’all are joking

Well we did say might, Im sure neither of us expected the American healthcare system to improve in any way at all, thats asking for a miracle
Guarantee you that if this ends up becoming a widespread thing, insurance companies will lobby hard to be the ones to help “calibrate” the AI.
