Episode 113: The Missing Criteria for Health Insurance Companies

July 15, 2024 by Joe Sparks

Episode 113: The Missing Criteria for Health Insurance Companies is now available on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Tune In.

Do not miss this episode as host Joe Sparks explains that health insurance companies are concerned with profits and are using AI to increase profits by denying care. Instead, insurance companies should be evaluated on how well they cover costs for treatment.

Here are the articles referenced in this podcast:
