Satire or irony
“This way, many many more treatments will not meet criteria for approval, without the manual labor of having to do peer-to-peer reviews”
Republished satirical open letter, section 'Abandoning My Life's Best Work Gem #1: More Robust Prior Auths!'. The author's mock proposal that Optum Insights build natural language processing software that reads prior records to stop clinicians from fitting diagnoses to prior-authorization criteria; he says many more treatments would then fail approval.
Marked or evident satire, hyperbole or irony.
