Draft Message
Hi Jacob,
I'm Thomas, co-founder of DaisyAI. We're building AI for utilization review and prior auth - helping nurses with medical necessity determinations.
Your journey from Anomaly to CMS is fascinating. I'd love to learn how your perspective on healthcare AI evolved from founder to regulator. Also curious how CMS is thinking about AI adoption in UR/PA workflows.
Would you have time for a brief call?
