Medicare's artificial intelligence preauthorization effort drew criticism in new documents released Tuesday. The documents describe a rushed rollout. They also flag unusually high denial numbers. News reports describe lengthy treatment delays from the initiative. MarketWatch reported that Medicare is using AI to approve claims, and that the result has been alarmingly high denial rates. Newsweek also reported the treatment delays. STAT also reported about the released records.

Separately, Medicare is set to broaden a pilot covering tech for managing chronic conditions. STAT covered that planned expansion.
