Mark Cuban, you nailed it. Insurance companies and the US healthcare system need disruption. The system of denials, appeals, delays, and the like is about to have more and more lawsuits fueled by AI and access to the data. Then the Insurance Companies will cover less and charge more until, one day, the system changes or collapses. I appreciate your voice and efforts, Mark Cuban!!!
@mcuban Hmmmm Reminds me of love. “I miss my peers… they were each gifted in a way I was not” Apologies May not apply to specifics. (This is just a personal account that can’t be separated from me)
@mcuban Soooooo when are we just going to do it ourselves… and forget about the insurance titans? I think we’re due for an overhaul. Just tap me in for complex/concierge care… I’m over this circus they have us running
@mcuban Speaking as a doctor for nearly 40 years, you are 100% correct
He predicts an adversarial AI arms race to delay healthcare approvals.

@mcuban Mark, RIGHT ON!!! (From your Pi Lam Brother...me).
@mcuban U used to seem so smart, what happened?
It's not. Why? Because 25 pct or more of a doctor's time is spent dealing with conglomerates that do all they can to make the doctor's care more difficult, and expensive, for both the doctor and patient. For every future agent we give AI doctors to deal with this friction, and to improve the quality of care, the conglomerates will have multiple adversarial agents doing all they can to delay and deny, to minimize their cost and maximize their float We see this already as the conglomerates use AI to find every possible way to manipulate contracts, and find ways to mislead, while hospitals hire companies for Revenue Cycle Management, who charge as much as 10 pct of revenue to have their agents try to do the reverse. It's the agentic version of Mad magazine Spy vs Spy I'll give you a further example. There isn't a single company, including yours, that knows the actual cost of the care they purchase for your employees and families. Not one. Cost is an important component of health care decision making. @a16z includes costs in defining its benefits. But you are blind to all but the total bill you pay. Your carrier, your ASO, your PBM, any company that touches the economics of care for your company is going to do everything they can to prevent you from using AI doctors or agents successfully If you want to see that change, stop working with the healthcare conglomerates. Write agents that define, optimize and contract directly with providers, to eliminate the uncessary middlemen. Feel free to use http://costpluswellness.com to train them. Until the conglomerates are disintermediated, HC in this country will continue to be fucked
So true. But don't forget your peer to peer is with someone who may or may not be a doctor, that works for a company, that was subcontracted by a company that was subcontracted by a company that was subcontracted by your insurance carrier for the sole purpose of denying care so the carrier can charge the employer for as many appeals as they can, hoping that everyone gives up so that they can tell the employer, whose CEO has no idea that the carrier they hired is doing this, that they saved them money @pmarca has anyone at @a16z ever gotten a report showing the impact of denials on the health of your employees? I already know.
