Kaiser is a vertically integrated healthcare provider. They provide insurance like UHC but they also require you, for the most part, to be treated in Kaiser medical facilities. How can UHC use AI in the same way? They're an insurance company. They're not administering the actual healthcare? | ||

>How can UHC use AI in the same way? They're an insurance company. They're not administering the actual healthcare? UHC, the HC stands for Health Care, does have a field operation that handles home health care evaluations for those who live in rural areas with minimal access to medical facilities. Those patients are visited regularly by field personnel, trained nurses, who evaluate their conditions and insure that they have access to appropriate treatments for their conditions. Part of the evaluation of appropriate treatments has recently been pushed off to an AI-based system which uses various inputs to determine eligibility for treatment options. | ||
