TOP STORY
Algorithmic Errors Lead to Medicaid Denials in Tennessee
Thousands of Tennesseans were wrongfully denied Medicaid benefits due to errors in the TennCare Connect system, an automated eligibility tool built by Deloitte. Designed to streamline the application process, the system instead made critical mistakes, including incorrect data processing and faulty eligibility determinations. This failure led to a class-action lawsuit, where a federal judge ruled that the system had illegally terminated benefits, highlighting the severe risks of relying on flawed algorithmic systems. A third-party assessment could have prevented such widespread harm by ensuring the system's fairness and reliability before deployment.
