## Resource

CMS just proposed rules that could decide who gets paid for AI in healthcare, and that's a bigger deal than another “better algorithm” story. Dr. Sanjay Juneja and Dr. Douglas Flora talk with Jordan Johnson (radiation oncology, healthcare finance, compliance and law) about what's actually in the proposal and what happens once it lands. Topics: when does AI actually count as a billable clinical service. Why getting paid also means getting watched more closely. Hospitals leaning toward integrated platforms over one-off point solutions. What to do now, before the rule locks in. Still just a proposal, not law yet, so we should say that somewhere.
