AI and Employee Health: A Candid Conversation with CMOs

Employers are heading into 2027 with an 8.2% rise in health costs, the steepest in more than two decades. AI is part of the problem. AI billing alone is adding a full percentage point to trend, and payers are using AI to deny more claims. It’s also becoming one of the best tools medical leaders have to see what’s working, cut what isn’t, and help employees find the right care. Join Dr. Vin Gupta and Avante Co-Founder and CEO Rohan D’Souza for a private dinner with a small group of Chief Medical Officers to talk through both sides. Dr. Gupta is a Managing Director at Manatt, former Chief Medical Officer of Amazon Pharmacy, and an NBC News medical analyst.

‍What We’ll Discuss

• AI on both sides of the claim. Providers are using AI to code claims at higher levels, which raises what plans pay. Payers are using AI to review and deny claims, which pushes cost and frustration onto employees. Employers end up paying more and handling the employee fallout. We’ll compare what medical leaders are seeing and how they’re responding.
• AI agents that watch your plan for you. No team can track every claim, vendor, and trend at once. AI agents can, so you catch problems early instead of months later at renewal. We’ll discuss advances in AI that make agents more powerful and how medical leaders are deploying them.
• Using AI to decide what stays and what goes. From GLP-1 coverage to point solutions, every program has to prove its value for 2027. We’ll talk through how to use AI to measure results and hold vendors accountable.
• How employees are using AI for their care. Employees are turning to AI to choose benefits and find providers. We’ll talk through what that means for employers, and how AI can guide people to better care
