About
Andrew Menard is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare reimbursement, best known for his groundbreaking work in securing the first-ever insurance payment for an AI system in clinical medicine. His primary research areas include health policy, AI implementation in stroke care, and value-based payment models. Menard’s major contribution was orchestrating the 2020 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approval of a New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) for an AI system that expedites acute stroke triage—a landmark achievement that established a precedent for AI reimbursement. His most-cited paper (2022, 9 citations) details the methods used to qualify for this payment, highlighting strategies to demonstrate clinical and economic value. This work has profound implications for accelerating AI adoption in healthcare, as it provides a replicable framework for other technologies. Menard’s impact extends beyond academia, influencing how policymakers and insurers evaluate AI’s role in improving patient outcomes while controlling costs. His research is essential reading for students and professionals navigating the regulatory and financial challenges of integrating AI into clinical practice.
