A newly filed bill aims to protect Texans from AI-driven health insurance decisions, ensuring medical care is guided by doctors rather than algorithms.
LAMPASAS, Texas (KXXV) — A Texas lawmaker is pushing to limit the role of artificial intelligence in processing health insurance claims, arguing that critical medical decisions should be made by humans, not algorithms.
State Rep. David Spiller has introduced House Bill 2922, which would prohibit health insurance companies from using AI to delay, deny, or modify claims. Spiller said the bill is necessary to protect patients and ensure their medical care is guided by doctors rather than unregulated technology.
