Artificial intelligence is transforming nearly every industry—but should it decide your health insurance coverage?
In this thought-provoking episode of The Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, Tom Quigley of ClaimLinx joins Neil Haley to tackle one of the biggest emerging questions in employee benefits:
Can AI make healthcare decisions better than people?
From plan selection and open enrollment to prescription savings and insurance optimization, Tom dives into what AI can do well—and where human expertise still matters.
The conversation explores the strengths and limitations of AI in health insurance, including privacy concerns, healthcare complexity, tax strategy opportunities, and why many employers still struggle to fully understand their own benefits.
Tom and Neil even put AI to the test live—asking difficult healthcare questions about prescription savings programs, charity care, coordination of benefits, dual coverage structures, and insurance purchasing strategies.
The results? AI got some answers right—but missed critical nuances.
If AI continues changing healthcare, employers and employees alike need to understand where technology adds value—and where expertise still wins.
