The Health Insurer AI Audit

An audit of the eight largest U.S. health insurers reveals their AI disclosure practices, highlighting a significant gap between investor-facing and member-facing transparency. The report analyzes disclosure scores based on 10-K filings, annual reports, member benefit documents, and regulatory filings, among other sources. It identifies key findings, including that disclosure often follows litigation rather than regulation, and integrated payer-provider models show greater transparency.
