Report claims Palantir tech powers decision support at Aetna, Humana, Cigna and other major insurers
alvelda · x · 2026-11-16
A new report from the Center for Health & Democracy Education Fund, built on documents obtained by EFF, discloses previously unreported ties between Palantir and major US health insurers including Aetna, Humana, Cigna and Blue Shield of California, where the tech is used for functions like "decision support."
alvelda argues patients should be told when AI shapes a coverage decision, raising the question of whether such disclosure should be legally required.
