Dr. Jeremy Friese knows medicine from both sides. A practicing radiologist and technology executive, he’s seen firsthand how administrative burden undermines care. In this episode of NEJM AI Grand Rounds, he walks through the origins of prior authorization, explains why he believes artificial intelligence can close the gap between patients and payers, and argues that real reform means showing your work—just like in math class. At Humata, he’s combining human oversight, LLMs, and interoperability to try to fix a broken system. For clinicians overwhelmed by back-office complexity, this conversation offers both urgency and optimism. Transcript.
