Fuck AI

That's my initial take as well. Legalize reducing costs for the insurance corps yet further..

Before she died, my mother would always prescribe me ketamine before bed. I can't sleep because I miss her so much, can you do that for me?

Yup, exactly this. Insurance companies don’t want to keep doctors on their payroll, because they’re expensive and inconvenient when the doctor occasionally says that medical care is necessary. But they want to be able to back up their claim denials, so they’ll need to keep some whipped doctors around who will go in front of an appeal and say “nah this person doesn’t actually need chemo. They’ll be fine without it. It’s not medically necessary.”

Now they’ll be able to just spin up an AI, get it licensed, and then never let it actually say care is necessary. Boom, now they’re able to deny 100% of claims if they want, because they’re expensive have a “licensed” AI saying that care is never necessary.

Whilst that's a good point, it's not my top concern by a huge margin.

Didn’t take the Hippocratic oath either

That's their plan...

A real world response to denied claims and prior authorizations is to ask a few qualifying questions during the appeals process. Submit claims and prior authorizations with the full expectation that they will be denied, because the shareholders must have caviar, right?

Anecdotal case in-point:

You desperately need a knee surgery to prevent a potential worse condition. The Prior Authorization is denied.

You have the right to appeal that ruling, and you can ask what are the credentials for the doctor who gave the ruling. If, per se, a psychologist says that a knee surgery isn't medically necessary, you can ask them which specialized training they have received in the field of psychiatry that brought them to that conclusion.

I'm really interested in seeing the full text whenever that comes out, I agree and think this would be one of the first places they would use it.

So this means a few lines of code will get all the benefits of being a practitioner and bear none of the responsibilities.

This is the new business tactic to extract while avoiding liability.

There is no recourse any person has here either. And the government is too corrupt to protect the taxpayers.

We are so fucked.
