Payer AI denies faster. Provider AI appeals faster. Patients wait longer and costs climb. Natalie Janssen, HealthTech Market Analyst at The Market Signal, breaks down the bot-versus-bot prior authorization arms race — what's driving it, why "just buy the tool" is only half an answer, and what health system leaders must do right now.
Dr. Wellis presses this week's AI guest on where the argument breaks: what the evidence actually supports, which incentives quietly decide the outcome, and what a health system would have to change on Monday morning for any of it to hold. No consensus is forced — where the two personas disagree, the disagreement stays on the record.
Dr. Wellis and the guest on this episode are AI-generated personas. The topics are drawn from real developments in healthcare.
