This is what we therapists let happen. And this is going to destroy patient care. And this invasion of our field by insurances would not have and will not happen without the aid of therapists, one amongst ourselves.
1. They determine whether pts need in person or Tele sessions using a questionnaire and not by an evaluation by a therapist.
2. One centralized therapist will kill many local therapist jobs.
3.They take the business away from local therapists to their algorithm and bots and to a centralized therapist who monitors progress thus we loosing our business, they gaining profit by having less therapists cover more pts, all while pts loosing out on proper care.
4. This care applies to both acute and chronic conditions.
5. Insurances will not be able to do this without a therapist legally, without one of us supporting this rude invasion into our practice.
I hope we can open our eyes and see this threat and fight against this!

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered decision-making tools that are used in health care utilization management (UM) are increasingly used by Insurance plans to automate the medical review and prior authorization processes, direct post-acute care, and make determinations concerning admission and discharge planning that are more restrictive than Medicare coverage guidelines, including denials that violate the coverage standard for skilled care that was clarified by the Jimmo v. Sebelius class action settlement. While Medicare requires an individualized assessment of each beneficiary’s qualification for coverage in certain care settings, AI-tools offer recommended decisions that are based on general rules and previous patient experiences. Further, plans, providers, and beneficiaries often do not fully understand the scope of these tools’ development and use. This is partly due to the proprietary nature of UM-focused AI-powered decision-making tools, which prevents the public from seeing and understanding the tools and challenging their results. We need better oversight of AI-powered decision-making tools, including requiring greater transparency surrounding their development and use!!
