Summary: The commenter opposes the creation of reimbursable billing codes for AI, arguing that AI is a tool to support human providers rather than a replacement for them. They express concern that providing billing codes for AI could prioritize profit over patient outcomes and suggest that human providers should receive billing codes first.
AI should not receive reimbursable billing codes when there are care providers who do not yet have billing codes. AI is a tool to support care providers not an actual care provider to the patient. Providing a tool with a billing code sends the wrong message to healthsystems that are already broken and provides administrators an incentive to put profit over patient outcomes. Health care is human and there are human parts that AI cannot replicate because it is a tool. Please do not give AI billing codes before providing them to all human providers.
