- Insurers claim hospitals' use of AI was responsible for approximately $1 billion in extra expenses during 2024-25, according to a New York Times report.
- Hospitals are collecting more patient data and submitting larger claims, which insurers attribute to their AI adoption, escalating the longstanding payment feud between hospitals and health insurers.
Why it matters: The roughly $1 billion figure across 2024-25 gives insurers documented ammunition in billing disputes with hospitals and forces hospital systems to defend how their AI tools shape what gets billed to insurers and patients.
