OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT Health signals how urgently employees are seeking accessible health guidance. But as this Employee Benefit News article by Healthee’s Co-founder and CEO, Guy Benjamin, makes clear, understanding your health is only half the battle. The piece highlights a critical gap: while AI can help people interpret symptoms, lab results, and fitness data, it doesn’t tell them how to actually use their employer-sponsored benefits to get affordable care. In a world where the same MRI can cost $150 in one location and $1,800 in another, that missing link can be the difference between getting timely care and delaying it.
Benjamin argues that for employers, brokers, and HR leaders, AI’s real power lies in combining wellness coaching with benefits navigation and price transparency. He points out that HR teams are already overwhelmed with benefits questions and that healthcare costs remain one of the largest and fastest-growing line items for employers. AI should not replace doctors or HR, he writes, but instead serve as a 24/7 guide that helps employees understand their coverage, find in-network, high-value providers and make informed, cost-effective decisions aligned with their specific plans.
The article ultimately lays out a vision for an integrated AI future: an employee can ask about a condition like diabetes and immediately see which in-network specialists are available, what their out-of-pocket costs will be, and where to fill prescriptions at the best price under their formulary.
