I'm unclear on who is using AI in this scenario. Are you going to use your own AI on your X-rays, or expect that the dentist will use a new tool to tell them to not do the procedure to get them more money?

Probably the latter scenario. Its a hypothetical - but it could happen if health records move increasingly online and if enough patients demand that level of control.

Insurers could potentially require specific tools be used to cover a procedure.
