Summary: The commenter, identifying as a healthcare worker, opposes the proposed payment cuts, arguing that they will negatively impact healthcare decision-making and patient retention for independent private practices. They also highlight existing challenges with insurance companies using AI to deny prior authorizations.
Hello good morning,
As an individual and health care worker myself; I find that these cuts will significant impact how health care decisions are made. From receiving diagnosis, getting prior authorizations approved OR denied, private practices have struggled the most. Independent practices like the one I currently work at have already seen a reduced patient retention. Insurances have already been denying quickly prior authorizations for procedures OR medications using AI.
