Health insurer points finger at AI as nearly $1 billion in questionable hospital charges appear

Blue Cross Blue Shield Association estimated that hospitals' use of AI-assisted medical coding contributed to $942 million in additional costs for its health plans between 2023 and 2025. BCBSA said much of the increase came from secondary diagnoses that moved patients into higher-paying reimbursement. AI is now used in medical billing and coding to translate procedures and diagnoses into standardized codes that appear on insurance claims and patient bills, while experts warn of an administrative AI arms race in U.S. healthcare.
