DelBene and colleagues urge repeal of Medicare's AI-driven approval model to prevent denied treatments.
Quiver AI Summary
DelBene and Colleagues Address Medicare AI Concerns: Representatives Suzan DelBene and 28 colleagues have urged the House Appropriations Committee to repeal the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) Model. They claim it incentivizes the denial of necessary medical services by using AI.
AI's Impact on Patient Care: The letter highlights that the model, implemented in six states, assigns private companies to decide on medical services for conditions like Parkinson's and chronic pain, potentially risking patient care. The lawmakers argue this process increases burdens on providers and limits patient access to care.
Prior Authorization Trends: With Medicare traditionally requiring fewer authorizations than Medicare Advantage, the use of prior authorization has reportedly surged, leading to a significant number of denials being overturned. Lawmakers stress that the WISeR Model exacerbates existing issues in the prior authorization system.
