House committee takes step toward blocking Medicare AI prior authorization pilot

Emily Olsen / healthcaredive - It’s another sign of lawmakers’ concern about the pilot, which has been lambasted for delaying care to seniors.

AI Summary: A House committee has advanced measures aimed at halting CMS’s WISeR Medicare prior-authorization pilot, raising concerns about federal use of AI to automate utilization review. Lawmakers argue the pilot risks patient access and overshadows provider input, while proponents say it could curb delays and costs. The fight now shifts to appropriations and broader policy debates.
