I bet in 10 years my insurance plan will no longer cover imaging being interpereted by a radiologist.

That's a very sharp prediction, thanks. I will run that by some people.

Considering how fractured medical billing is these days, often the techs contracted by your in-network doctors office are actually out-of-network.

Isn't medical billing fun?

Surprise Medical Billing has mostly been nerfed after the No Surprises Act here in the US. After 2022, so long as you went to an INN provider, then you can't be charged OON pricing for any OON services that you may have encountered during that visit.

Also, I work in insurance as a software engineer

It's been a while since I've had supplementary procedures, so that's good to know.

Now I just have to wait for all nine (and a half) bills after emergency services.

The way claims get sent back during billing I became suspicious a lot of them are getting read by machine (and very poorly) during the first round of mail so don't worry medical billing will get even more fun thanks to AI

Yeah this might actually not be that far from reality. Computer vision already did a large amount of the lifting, with the massive pushes towards AI, AI will take the rest of us plebians healthcare.
