AI in Health Insurance
-
There is a new, emerging trend in the use of AI in health insurance. However, my concern is that if AI can deny my claim in seconds, I may need another AI tool just to fight back. How am I supposed to keep up? I just want to talk to a real person when I'm worried about medical bills, not an algorithm figuring out what's fair for my family.

The 2026 rules say licensed doctors must make final decisions on medical necessity, not AI. States like California and Texas require human oversight for automated decisions in Medicare Advantage plans.
AI helps with initial paperwork but doesn’t take away your right to appeal to a human. If you have an unfair claim, you can ask for a "Peer-to-Peer" review, which lets your doctor talk directly to the insurance company’s medical director.
