Quote from the article
One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.
I don’t know of any tele-triage nurses that get paid $90 an hour. Moreover bedside manner does not equal telephone/video demeanor.
Probably nurses are billed out at 90 an hour.
Not even. If you’re contracting out for nursing, it can go over 90.
$90 is what a company pays for a visit from the Comcast support guy
I can easily see nurses being billed at 90 an hour to insurance companies. It is not a wild number.
Services are bundled in most scenarios (the hospital visit is paid x dollars when you get y diagnosis, no matter the length of stay or how many hours a nurse spends on you). Home health is probably the one exception where nursing is usually reimbursed hourly.
Sure, but the pricing is then calculated on underlaying costs and estimates. And with that 90 an hour for a nurse is not weird as a basis for calculations. The nurses will get about a third of that …I guess
Not really, with wages and benefits, it’s close to 90
