Facing Automated Denials: A New Reality for Claimants
Imagine recovering from a car accident or a workplace injury, feeling hopeful that your insurance claim will cover your medical expenses and aid in your recovery. Suddenly, you're blindsided by a denial—your claim has been rejected, and it might not have even been a human who made that decision. Increasingly in the insurance industry, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to assess personal injury claims, often within seconds, leaving many feeling helpless against an invisible arbiter.
Real-World Examples of AI in Action
The use of AI in insurance has stirred considerable controversy. Take UnitedHealth's model, nH Predict, or Cigna's system—both have been accused of overriding physician advice and denying claims almost instantaneously. These instances highlight the urgency for transparency in understanding how AI makes these critical decisions.
Demanding Transparency and Accountability
As AI becomes more entrenched in the insurance sector, pushing for transparency in AI decision-making processes is critical. Knowing how these systems operate can empower claimants and advocates to demand accountability from insurers. Insist on clarity and specifics regarding how your claim was reviewed and decided.
