The Coming Reckoning: How AI Tests Healthcare Regulation
Presented by George Maliha
Recorded February 25th, 2026
This program is scheduled for 60 minutes and is valid for 1 CHBME credit.
Description:
Much ink has been spilled on how AI is changing the delivery of healthcare. However, underappreciated is how AI will change how healthcare is regulated. The purpose of this webinar is to begin to bridge this gap and to think through how AI systems already in use – and being studied – will change how healthcare is regulated. The program will focus on RCM applications and issues and consider examples of AI and issues that may arise. Examples of recent laws and rules will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
Course participants will be able to:
- Survey areas of common healthcare regulation in RCM – such as customer service, fraud detection, reimbursement, prior authorization/coverage appeals.
- Provide examples of AI already deployed – and how to think about adapting workflows.
- Provide some basic considerations in thinking through how a particular regulatory system interacts with the AI system.
