What does this mean for the #health #care industry – especially for major players who may be considering #expansion and/or #acquisitions in 2025? Courtney Averbach, Christopher Brennan and Michelle Mantine explain in their latest post.

Many managed care organizations (MCOs) are deploying artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance their existing processes. In some cases, politicians and policyholders seem to believe that MCOs are not abiding by current rules and regulations when using this new technology in some of their business processes and procedures, such as claims processing. As a result, politicians have held hearings and made written inquiries of certain MCOs, and policyholders have filed suit against some MCOs claiming that AI is causing noncompliant claims processing. In-by improving transparency around the use of AI and preparing now for potential government inquiries and litigation in the future. On Thursday, March 6 the team of Wendell Bartnick, Michelle Lyu Cheng, and Vanessa Perumal presented a webinar advising how in-house counsel can take steps to mitigate these risks and build (or re-build) trust.
