How Health Insurers Are Using Your Social Media Posts
from Services Economy with Fexingo: Healthcare, Finance, and the Modern Service Sector · host Fexingo
A 2025 Consumer Federation of America study found that seven out of ten major health insurers now analyze social media posts to inform underwriting and claims decisions. We explore how algorithms score your public posts for lifestyle indicators, from fast-food check-ins to marathon photos, and what happens when that data is used against you. One Texas woman had her gym membership claim denied because a photo of her running a marathon suggested she didn't need the gym. We break down the data brokering pipeline, the legal pushback from regulators, and what you can do to protect your digital footprint. This episode is part of Fexingo's Services Economy series, where we examine how data drives modern insurance, finance, and healthcare decisions. #HealthInsurance #SocialMedia #DataMining #Privacy #Underwriting #Claims #Economics #ServicesEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ConsumerRights #ACLU #AlgorithmicScoring #DigitalFootprint #RiskAssessment #InsuranceTech #HealthCare #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
