3+ hour, 25+ min ago (479+ words) TALLAHASSEE " In an issue stemming from the use of artificial intelligence in the insurance industry, a House panel Tuesday approved a proposal that would require humans to make ultimate decisions about denying claims or reducing claim payments. The House Insurance & Banking Subcommittee unanimously approved the bill (HB 527) amid opposition from insurance-industry groups " but support from groups that represent hospitals and doctors. "No Floridian should ever have a claim denied based solely on an automated output," bill sponsor Hillary Cassel, R-Dania Beach, said. "HB 527 establishes a clear and reasonable safeguard." The bill makes clear that insurers could use artificial intelligence and algorithms in processing claims and making recommendations about approvals and denials.

5+ hour, 4+ min ago (884+ words) For every new enrollment, two Pennsylvanians are dropping Obamacare coverage as steep government subsidies are set to expire at year's end. About 38,000 people who have Affordable Care Act coverage through Pennie, the state's health insurance exchange, have opted not to renew their plans for next year. That's compared to 19,000 new enrollees. "We are seeing how much this affordability matters to people," Pennie Executive Director Devon Trolley told TribLive on Tuesday. Open enrollment runs Nov. 1 to Jan. 15, so there's still time for an enrollment surge. But Trolley said she's certain Pennie's headcount will shrink if an enhanced version of Obamacare subsidies sunsets. Prior to open enrollment, Pennie projected 450,000 of its 500,000 users would face higher premiums without the subsidies, with 150,000 of them leaving the exchange as a result. Many more might choose plans that are cheaper but offer worse coverage. Financial aid…...

Ron DeSantis readies the state for a so-called artificial intelligence "bill of rights," legislation that could help Floridians in fights with insurers is moving closer to the House floor. Rep.Hillary Cassel's measure (HB 527) would mandate that "qualified human professionals" must review insurance claims rather than allowing companies to shunt the task onto AI tools like "algorithms, artificial intelligence systems and machine learning systems" without manual oversight. In the case of denied claims, a human being would be accountable for the decision if the bill becomes law, signing off on it and denoting how AI tools were used to arrive at the decision, if at all. Cassel, the current Vice Chair of the House Insurance and Banking Committee, told her colleagues that the bill "addresses a growing challenge in our insurance markets" with a "clear and reasonable safeguard…...
