#5 From 16 Nov 23:
UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges

For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors' judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan.

#6 Person I know, letter from insurer:
"After a thorough review of your case, we have decided not to back (proper but expensive) Medicine A for (much less expensive) Medicine B.

Medicine B has latex in the IV system. Person is allergic to latex. Thorough review.

#7 DooDahMan his wife confirmed he had been getting threats but she didn't know what they were because he wouldn't tell her. This whole thing stinks.

#9 They kept pestering us to join them for Medicare plans. The pricing was rally inexpensive for what they said they offered, and that's always a red flag in my book.

Checked with a few folks we know that had it and they changed to another system within a couple of years. LOTS of hassle and denied services, apparently.
