Holy crap. US healthcare innovating ways to be terrible for patients.

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association says insurers paid out nearly $1 billion more than usual from AI-assisted hospital documentation in 2024-2025. Hospitals use AI to scan records and find secondary diagnoses that human reviewers missed. More diagnoses means higher reimbursements. But treatment levels haven't gone up.
BCBSA's SVP of data science said AI is "identifying more billable conditions, not sicker patients." Insurers now deploy their own AI to deny those same claims. Patients pay for both through higher premiums.

My Take
This might be the most American healthcare story I've ever read. Hospitals bought AI to find more things to bill for. Insurers bought AI to deny those bills. The technology cost money on each end and the tab went straight to patients through higher premiums. A billion dollars moved and no one got any healthier. The only thing that changed was the size of the invoices.

Two sides of a trillion-dollar industry found a new tool to fight over the same pool of money and the person in the hospital bed pays for all of it. Premiums go up, denials go up, and the AI vendors collect from everyone. If you want to know who AI works for, stop reading the press releases and look at where the money goes. In healthcare it went straight into the billing department.

@gtalumni Beta may have chained bandstands together with a tarp and filled that will water to make a pool.

#UEFA just tell us next time the result has been bought and paid for so we don’t have to watch the corruption of football in real time. #PSGARS this is the most lopsided officiating ever.

@Neygoat34 @ModernArsenal77 @UTDTrey You mean, vs the team that hadn’t lost at home in 19 games? The one that beat PSG and Atlético? Why should we have shame?

@espn pro wrestling is not a sport. It’s entertainment. Aren’t you a sports network?

@agoda someone just booked three hotels in Houston, all to arrive today using my account. Nice fraud detection. I’ll be deleting my account. Your customer service chat just puts me in a 15-min queue that no one ever answers.

@BFW Joe Hamilton in 1999. Finished ahead of Vick but lost bc Ron Dayne got it as a career award.

It makes me sad that @espn College Gameday has become just another Pat McAfee obnoxio-fest.

@88jacket @baxstboys I hate the transfer portal

@askparamount I will never upgrade. And you are not sorry for the inconvenience. You designed it this way. You are quite happy about the inconvenience.

[Glenn Goodrich @goodrich]

@paramountplus Can you explain to me why I have to have the SHOWTIME plan to watch March Madness games? I was struggling to justify my subscription before this, but this kinda is making the cancel decision for me.

[Glenn Goodrich @goodrich]

@askparamount That is stupid

@cabify thanks for canceling a ride after 10 min of waiting. It’s weird that I use FreeNow and Uber more than a service that can juts crap on me whenever

[Glenn Goodrich @goodrich]

@STG_Yeh1 As a Yellow Jacket and Cowboy fan, I’ll be rooting for your fast and total recovery.

@StubHub 80eu fees for 2 90eu tickets. Utter lunacy. Your fees are, essentially, a whole other ticket.
