Why this matters now

The healthcare industry is at a tipping point. With AI adoption accelerating, payers that fail to modernize risk falling behind. This report provides the insights you need to stay ahead of the curve, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency.

"I think our industry is about to undergo a seismic shift. When you go into a pharmacy, you don't wait six months to receive a benefits determination. If data is appropriately distributed and integrated, AI will enable the same kind of convergence, where payers receive claims immediately upon submission and process them right away."
