Insurer analysis links AI-assisted hospital claims to $942 million in added spending
Image: Primary Hospitals' use of AI tools when submitting insurance claims contributed to an additional $942 million in healthcare spending over two years, according to an analysis by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. The insurer group found a sharp increase in patients documented as having complex conditions, which can affect payment for care.
The group argued that the change in coding did not reflect a corresponding change in treatment. The finding comes amid disputes between hospitals and insurers over claims and payments.
