It’s here. With all of the talk about the topic, it was inevitable that it would eventually affect your day-to-day, and artificial intelligence is playing a big role in the healthcare world, especially in claims and auditing. Private payers are quickly adopting AI tools in multiple capacities, so as a provider, it helps to know what they’re using and how.

Insurance Payers See Advantages To Artificial Intelligence
Private payers and government programs are constantly trying to find fraud, waste, and abuse. In their minds, a more efficient system can deliver quality healthcare more effectively. They are also always looking for a way to cut costs, and artificial intelligence seems like a way for them to do that. So, insurance providers are using AI now in their claims investigations.
There are a few different ways that they can do that, including by using more complex algorithms to detect patterns that humans might miss. Consistently odd billing patterns or unusual treatment can be seen through the use of machine learning, much in the same way that casinos are using this technology to identify cheaters. It’s also allowing for automated decision-making in prior authorization, which can speed up times.
Some States Are Looking To Regulate AI
Not everyone is on board with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the auditing process. Some states have even taken legislative action in this arena, including California and Arizona. California’s SB 1120, or The Physicians Make Decisions Act, requires that denials, delays, and modification of care needs to be reviewed by an actual qualified healthcare provider. This helps add some contextual analysis for the decision. Arizona’s law is similar to California’s, and many other states appear to be poised to follow suit.
