### AI based medical insurance denials
In the US, medical insurance providers will authorise payment for your treatment. Medicare Advantage for the over 65s decided to use an AI powered system to predict the number of days of care people would need after a hospital stay. Unfortunately the [error rate was as high as 90%](https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/11/ai-with-90-error-rate-forces-elderly-out-of-rehab-nursing-homes-suit-claims/) (based on appeals) – and the system and policy was built around attempting to adhere to the algorithms predictions.

The decision to decline payment would be made whilst patients were receiving care, and were still unwell, overriding the advice of doctors involved in the patients’ care. If you had the energy to appeal (few did), a success could be overturned in a few days. And appeals after the fact can take years, while patients are elderly and/or terminally ill.
