NEW YORK, Sept 24 (Reuters) - AI tools are raising health spending for insurers by nearly $1 billion over two years, as providers bill for more severe patient care,according to a Blue Cross Blue Shield Association study released Thursday.
Between 2024 and 2025, providers more frequently billed for secondary conditions, or those stemming from a separate illness from the one they were treating, driving costs up by $653 million for BCBScompanies during that period. Overall, more intense care contributed $942 million in costs to BCBSfirms over the two-year period, when compared to 2023, the study added.

纽约，9 月 24 日（路透社）——根据蓝十字蓝盾协会周四发布的一项研究，人工智能工具将在两年内使保险公司的医疗支出增加近 10 亿美元，因为医疗服务提供商会为更严重的患者护理开具账单。
2024年至2025年间，医疗服务提供者更频繁地就继发性疾病（即由与主治疾病不同的其他疾病引起的疾病）进行收费，导致蓝十字蓝盾公司在此期间的成本增加了6.53亿美元。该研究还指出，总体而言，与2023年相比，更密集的医疗护理在两年内为蓝十字蓝盾公司增加了9.42亿美元的成本。
