AI's Hidden Hand in Denying Insurance Claims
Jason Altman

Picture this: recovering from a car accident or a workplace injury, you're hopeful about your pending personal injury claim. You're counting on the compensation to cover medical expenses and lost wages, but then comes the shocking denial. What's even more surprising is discovering that this decision might not have been made by a human at all, but by an artificial intelligence model. This growing trend in the insurance industry is reshaping the outcomes of personal injury claims, often leaving claimants in the lurch.

Highlights from the Real World

There is an ongoing debate about the use of AI in insurance. Systems like UnitedHealth's model, nH Predict, and Cigna's system have been accused of overriding physician advice and denying claims instantly. These models raise concerns about the possible neglect of nuanced individual circumstances that a human touch could address.

The Call for Transparency

With AI increasingly involved in critical decisions, transparency about its decision-making process is paramount. As policyholders, it’s crucial to demand clarity from insurers on how these systems work. Knowing the criteria used by AI to assess claims can empower you to better understand and challenge decisions if needed.
