Podcasts about prior authorization

Welcome to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech,' the podcast that explores the profound transformation occurring within the legal world. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a futuristic concept; it is actively reimagining legal services, from sophisticated tools capable of managing multi-step tasks to AI-powered law firms redefining efficiency for private market investors. While firms are quickly integrating AI into workflows for everything from drafting to internal inquiries and even merger support, the technology still faces significant challenges, including the crucial need for AI to automatically understand user context, the risk of AI 'hallucinations' fabricating information, and complex issues surrounding data privacy, bias, and legal liability. Regulatory bodies worldwide are also addressing these complexities, with new action plans and comprehensive laws shaping the responsible development and deployment of AI. Today, we delve into how legal professionals and policymakers are shaping the future of law in this rapidly evolving AI era.Context is king when it comes to AI24 Jul 2025City A.M.Pinsent Masons: Pinsent Masons and ContractPodAi forge strategic partnership to expand AI-powered legal services24 Jul 2025ContractPodAiInitial Reactions to the White House AI Action Plan: Five Things U.S. Businesses Should Know24 Jul 2025Debevoise Data BlogLexisNexis unveils Protégé AI assistant to boost UK legal work23 Jul 2025IT Brief UKContractPodAi Expands Global Team to Power Next Phase of Legal AI Growth23 Jul 2025Legal ReaderIs Your AI Scribe HIPAA-Compliant?23 Jul 2025Health LeadersPartner Who Wrote About AI Ethics, Fired For Citing Fake AI Cases23 Jul 2025Above The LawFrom Data to Decisions: Navigating Privacy and Litigation Risks in the AI Era23 Jul 2025JD SupraReflections on the CALL/ACBD Conference23 Jul 2025In Custodia LegisAI isn't just entering law offices—it's challenging the entire legal playbook23 Jul 2025Yahoo!

Understanding the New Medicare Preauthorization Pilot: What Agents Need to KnowIf you're an insurance agent, advisor, or just someone who loves to stay on top of Medicare changes, episode 85 of the Insurance Business Babes podcast is a must-listen. Hosts Joanna Wyckoff and Kathe Kline dive deep into Medicare's new pilot program for prior authorizations on certain Part B services—sparking lots of questions (and a bit of anxiety) among agents and clients alike. Here's a summary and further commentary on what you need to know.What's Changing and Where?This new prior authorization program doesn't signal an immediate, nationwide overhaul; for now, it's a six-year pilot launching in 2026, affecting just six states: New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Washington. Importantly, it targets only specific services, not everything under Part B. As Joanna reassured, “It's not a complete change across the board,” so there's no need to panic—yet".Which Services Are Included?There's a preliminary list of 17 service categories that will require prior authorization, including procedures like knee arthroscopy, spinal fusion, epidural steroid injections, implants for sleep apnea, and expensive wound care products. Many of these (like knee scopes and advanced wound care) have been flagged for possible overuse and abuse in the past.Kathe pointed out how this pilot likely aims to rein in unnecessary spending, similar to how the system already handles powered wheelchairs or certain prosthetics nationwide.Impacts for Agents and ClientsJoanna stressed the need for communication: If you have Med Supp clients in the affected states, you should proactively reach out to prepare them—before they hear from a competitor. It's crucial to clarify that Med Supp plans still can't require their own prior authorizations; the requirement comes from Medicare itself.For now, most “normal” Part B services won't require pre-auth, and providers demonstrating “clean requests” may even earn exemptions. AI programs will help process authorizations, but final decisions should still involve a human touch.Looking AheadThough limited for now, both hosts agreed agents should keep a close eye on this pilot. The landscape could shift significantly if results push Medicare to roll out prior authorizations nationwide. Stay informed, keep your clients prepared, and remember—clear, early communication keeps your relationships strong.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

The death of UnitedHealthcare's CEO has reignited backlash against health insurance practices, particularly prior authorization rules. This episode explores the parallels between today's outrage and the late 1990s backlash. Archelle sits down with Dr. Lee Newcomer, a fellow former Chief Medical Officer at UnitedHealthcare during that era, to share their unique insights. Together, they examine the pros and cons of prior authorization policies and discuss the urgent need for reforms to enhance access to medical care and restore public trust in the healthcare system. Key Takeaways: A Recipe for Navigating Your Prior Authorization Step 1: Have 5-7 days of patience. Step 2: After 5-7 days, call your doctor's and verify that the prior authorization was submitted. Make sure all the info is correct. Step 3: Call customer service and ask for the status of the request. If they don't have an answer, get a commitment on when they will follow up. Mention your intention to contact the Attorney General's Office Step 4: Escalate if there is no follow up within the time promised. Options (you can do all 3) ·     Call the Health Insurance Company CEO and request a referral to the Expedited Appeal Unit ·     Contact the Human Resources Department of your employer ·     Submit a complaint to the Attorney General's office in your state. Here's a link for the AG in each state: https://projects.propublica.org/claimfile/   Don't Forget: Keep your calm and be rationale. You'll get more accomplished that way. If your doctor believes that the medical test or procedure you need is urgent or emergent….don't wait for the prior authorization. Get the medical care you need and if its denied, you can appeal it later.

Have you ever eaten at Bud Harkert's in Omaha? Let us know! The numbers are growing: more participants are being lured and/or forced into Medicare Advantage plans and more participants are falling victim to "care rationing". Forty-six million episodes of denial in 2022 alone! The pervasive effects of our current inflationary trends are illustrated in a review of the Medicare supplement rate increases imposed on participants during recent months. A soon-to-be client refers to me as a "very busy national figure" who may not have time to attend to his concerns in the future. I reassured him that: After he buys the best available insurance from me, like General Eisenhower on D-Day, I would soon become the least important man in his life.

Insurance barriers can delay access to necessary medications. In this conversation, David shares his personal journey with osteoporosis, a condition often perceived as a women's disease, and the challenges he is encountering to get the medication he needs. Key Takeaways Men are risk for osteoporosis. It is not just a women's disease. Be proactive: Routine screening for osteoporosis is not recommended for men. So, men with a family history of osteoporosis and/or fractures after minor trauma should proactively request a bone density text, call a DEXA scan Always (always) request a copy of a healthcare denial letter. Don't just accept a verbal communication. Insurance companies are required to put every denial in writing and include the contractual reason for the denial.
