"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So a more sophisticated form of upcoding?

Yes, exactly that.

At the end of the day I think we all acknowledge that single payer is the optimal setup, but that's not to say that there aren't incentives on the provider side to maximize their payout.

While insurers have denials as their lever, providers have full coding and revenue cycle teams to ensure that they're charging as much as possible. Both sides of the equation need to be addressed to bring costs down.
