Why Technology Alone Can't Fix Healthcare
Vivek Jetley, president and head of Insurance, Healthcare and Life Sciences at EXL, a global data and AI company serving Fortune 500 firms. According to the AMA, "healthcare spending in the U.S. increased by 7.5% in 2023 to $4.9 trillion," putting us well on track for healthcare to account for some 20% of the U.S. GDP by 2032. Meanwhile, about 25% of that spending is estimated to be the result of waste. From administrative complexity and billing errors to outright fraud and abuse, the entire healthcare payments cycle is rife with opportunities to fix broken workflows and decrease patient, provider and health insurer frustrations. For the last decade or so, technology has been touted as the panacea to this problem. First, through predictive analytics and machine learning, and more recently through generative AI (GenAI) and agentic AI models that have promised to spot anomalies and red flags before erroneous claims are even paid, each technological evolution brings new promises to fix healthcare. Yet, wasteful healthcare spending just keeps rising. Where's the disconnect? Enterprise AI Initiatives Stuck On First Base One answer can be found in a recent survey my firm conducted of C-suite executives from the banking and finance, insurance, retail, utilities and healthcare payer industries. Seeking deeper insight into how large businesses are using AI and where they're encountering hurdles, we found that 60% of enterprise AI initiatives are still stuck in the pilot phase. Among the biggest barriers keeping them from progressing were talent shortages and data quality. These findings should resonate for anyone who has ever tried to deploy an off-the-shelf AI model to improve health insurance claims processing or monitor payment integrity. Although, the best large language models (LLMs) can ingest reams of data and immediately spot red flags and surface important insights, the whole thing falls apart once a generic model is set loose in a complex claims processing workflow that involves dozens of handoffs and incredibly specialized knowledge of health insurance, medical billing and claims data. It's why even a supercomputer like IBM's Watson failed (paywall) when it tried to tackle healthcare. That doesn't mean, however, that there's no place for AI in healthcare—quite the opposite. When deployed properly, AI is already transforming the way health insurers and providers manage payments. But it takes much more than off-the-shelf technology alone to make it work. The real key to extracting value from AI in healthcare comes from embedding specialized technology at critical points in the claims review and processing workflow and carefully choreographing all the parts. But it isn't something that can be done through technology alone. It also requires deep industry expertise and the ability to harness data from several different systems, many of which haven't historically talked to one another. Transforming Payment Integrity Let's look at the world of payment integrity, for example. This is the process health insurance companies and healthcare providers go through to ensure that the fees billed for healthcare services are aligned with the services rendered and the fee schedules outlined in the insurance policy. This isn't easy. Research suggests that about $266 billion is wasted every year due to administrative complexity. This complexity can cause miscoding or the inaccurate interpretation of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidelines and fee schedules, resulting in errors. The old way of screening for these types of errors was to deploy teams of registered nurses and medical coders to manually review all claims against existing policy details to search for inconsistencies. More recently, GenAI has been introduced to cover more ground much faster and more accurately than a human could ever do. However, simply being able to spot data anomalies with technology isn't enough. For these systems to truly add value, they must be constantly updated to reflect changes in fee schedules, standards of care and coverage policy details. Additionally, they must accurately distinguish between true errors and false positives, efficiently routing this information to the appropriate human reviewers for in-depth analysis. AI Isn't A Shortcut What, on the surface, may sound like a simple scenario in which an AI model is fed a bunch of rules and asked to find instances where those rules are being broken is actually an incredibly nuanced process that requires specialized technology and people who understand the workflow. To put this in context, if a specialized AI model processes 4 billion claims annually and 1% of those are flagged as errors that require further investigation, that 1% could translate to several million dollars in erroneous payments. But the AI is only valuable in that scenario if it's surfacing incredibly precise results. More often, companies that deploy off-the-shelf models to do this type of work end up with thousands of false positives and inaccurate interpretations that end up putting them back to square one, with manual reviewers scouring reports and a lot of money wasted on technology they don't trust. Like everything else in business, there are no shortcuts or replacements for deep industry expertise. The most powerful AI models may promise to save time, money and create seamless processes, but without the ability to embed those models deep into the fabric of an enterprise workflow, the model will be useless. Fortunately, many firms are finding that by developing highly specialized models and working with industry experts to deploy them, real breakthroughs aren't only possible, they're happening today.
