Reimbursement in the age of generalist radiology artificial intelligence
Siddhant Dogra, Ezequiel Silva, Pranav Rajpurkar
Abstract
We argue that generalist radiology artificial intelligence (GRAI) challenges current healthcare reimbursement frameworks. Unlike narrow AI tools, GRAI's multi-task capabilities render existing pathways inadequate. This perspective examines key questions surrounding GRAI reimbursement, including issues of coding, valuation, and coverage policies. We aim to catalyze dialogue among stakeholders about how reimbursement might evolve to accommodate GRAI, potentially influencing AI reimbursement strategies in radiology and beyond.
