🏝️ Florida Targets AI-Only Claim Decisions With Human Review of Insurance Claim Denials

NewBits Digest feature image on Human Review of Insurance Claim Denials, highlighting Florida legislation that limits AI-only insurance denials and requires a qualified human decision-maker.

Florida lawmakers are moving to curb a growing fear in modern insurance: that claims can be denied or payouts reduced based on automated output rather than accountable human judgment.


A proposed measure would require human review of insurance claim denials, allowing insurers to use AI and algorithms to assist — but not as the sole basis for denying a claim or cutting payment.


🔍 What’s Happening With Human Review of Insurance Claim Denials


Under the proposal, insurers and related entities could still use AI, machine learning, and other automated systems to help evaluate claims. But the final decision to deny a claim (or any portion of it), or to reduce a payment, would have to be made by a qualified human professional — not an automated model.


In other words: AI can support the workflow. It can’t be the decision-maker.


⚠️ Why It Matters in Florida


Florida is already an insurance pressure cooker — and this adds a new layer: trust.


  • Claim denials are high-stakes. They affect repairs, recovery, and financial stability.


  • Automated systems can scale decisions instantly, but accountability gets murky when a “black box” drives outcomes.


  • A human-in-the-loop requirement forces insurers to put a name and license behind the call — and gives consumers a clearer target for appeals and accountability.


This is also a signal that AI governance isn’t staying in tech policy circles. It’s moving into the most tangible places: bills, claims, payouts, and everyday household risk.


🎯 The Big Takeaway


Florida isn’t trying to ban AI in insurance.


It’s trying to draw a line: automation can assist, but humans must own the outcome.


If this approach gains traction, it could become a model for other states — not just for insurance, but for any AI system that makes decisions people feel in their lives, finances, and futures.
