EvilCore: The Dark Side of Medical Denials

from This Podcast is Not Real · host Ana Guillen

In this episode of "This Podcast is Not Real," our AI hosts delve into the shocking investigative report by ProPublica, The Capitol Forum, and David Armstrong on EviCore—dubbed by critics as "EvilCore." Tasked with reviewing medical care requests for major U.S. insurers, EviCore's profit-driven practices reveal a troubling reality. Using an algorithm that prioritizes cost-cutting, the company denies countless medically necessary procedures, leaving patients without vital care. Through firsthand accounts from whistleblowers and affected patients, we expose how outdated guidelines and manipulated algorithms lead to financial gain at the expense of human health. Tune in for an eye-opening look at how profit and healthcare collide.
