AI is transforming healthcare finance but will it solve problems or create new ones?
In this episode of The Leadership Lab podcast, Asbel Montes sits down with Brian Choate to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping revenue cycle management and financial strategy in healthcare. From automating pre-bill processes to improving reimbursements, AI is already proving its value. But with opportunity comes risk.
Asbel and Brian unpack how to balance efficiency with critical thinking, how to adopt AI without compromising compliance, and what healthcare leaders must do to prepare for an industry where 80–85% of providers will soon be using AI.
You’ll learn:
How tools like Intelliscrub and IntelliAR streamline billing and reduce manual errors
Why governance, compliance, and PHI protection must anchor every AI strategy
The real ROI of AI in healthcare finance and why some organizations are already seeing results
Why methodical adoption outperforms rushing to deploy
How to use AI to augment, not replace human expertise and decision-making
If you’re a healthcare CFO, finance executive, or policy strategist, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and provide a roadmap for using AI as a competitive advantage in healthcare finance.
