And this doesn't seem like a perverse incentive to anyone approving this arrangement? Fuck it, I've got an AI that will automatically reject 100% of claims and it's got minimal overhead.

Unless the law changes, these companies won't. You can kill half their CEOs, it won't change how they operate.

Wait, this is about Medicare, government-backed healthcare. JFC.

Guess they are going to learn what the state of Michigan learned when they paid SAS over 6 million dollars a year for fraud detection. The false positives rates on that shit is through the roof and the false negatives swallowed up all of the theoretical gains because honestly you can catch 99.97% of Medicare fraud by just basic analysis, about 13 carefully made SQL queries and 4 people who then go out and do legitimate detective work.

I can't think of anything. I'm confident that each case will be assessed fairly and impartially. You can definitely trust the current US government to prioritise your best interests.
