In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Mike Barniv who has impressive street cred in the AI, carrier and clinical arenas. He’s currently the VP of Clinical Affairs at Pearl. Dr. Barniv shared AI’s role in treatment case acceptance. Hint - it helps tremendously! We had a frank talk about how the carriers are using AI in adjudication. 
A few talking points: 
How does AI help dentists to efficiently examine historical images to chart disease progression
Using AI to meet carrier documentation criteria
Is AI just denying everything? 
This is one for the insurance nerds (my people😎). Enjoy!
