On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we follow-up on our 2025 series about health insurance companies using artificial intelligence to deny insurance claims at high rates and the legal battle that’s following it. In recent years, companies like Claimable have given patients an AI tool of their own to fight for their prescribed care. We speak to Dr. Warris Bokhari, Co-Founder and CEO of Claimable, about why he believes this service is needed, his own personal battles with insurance companies, Claimable’s success rate, and whether we’re entering an “AI arms race.”
Also on today’s program, as a new school year prepares to begin, we speak to Angira Sceusi, Executive Director of RedefinED Atlanta. She shares the issues they’re advocating for to ensure every student in the metro Atlanta area has access to a high-quality public education. One of the top issues, is preparing local students for their careers or college education after they graduate from public school.
