And fourth, we launched a new FICO Medication Adherence Score, which uses predictive analytics to forecast an individual's likelihood of taking his or her prescription medication as directed. This FICO Medication Adherence Score is HIPAA-compliant and it will help improve prescription adherence, boosting therapy effectiveness and reducing healthcare costs.

1. Why is it necessary to even record such a thing?

It's nobody's business besides the patient and his or her doctor!

2. ...and allowing health insurance companies grounds for denying claims

or coverage for noncompliance if you are in this identified group??? Should that be in there too? After all, when people are chosing between eating and meds, heat or cooling and meds, you name it and meds, what better way of maximizing profits than denying a claim.

3. "Compliance" isn't a word that belongs in medical care.

These ratings agencies represent all that is wrong with the world. THEY are the problem. One day people get around to rebelling against them.
