Man, respectfully, sounds like you are doing the dirty immoral work of insurabce companies. AI algos for adding diagnoses to rack up the bill? That is completely disgusting. Wholly unnacceptable and if I ever find out ive been the target of such a scam I will raise holy hell.

I am speaking more generally of the industry. You can look at my profile and follow the bread-trail to see whom I work for. It is not insurance, we are a client of state systems, and I work to do the opposite of what you suggest (identify fraud/waste/abuse in insurance claims).

I do not know the chances that any individual provider uses a system to identify what codes to tack onto your bill.
