Our take
Insurers run AI to deny claims, hospitals run AI to appeal the denials, and both sides bill the difference. Patients are the training data.
The facts

Insurers use AI to delay or deny claims and protect profits, while hospitals deploy AI to counter these tactics, resulting in increased costs and reduced care quality for patients and doctors.
