Clinical trials are needed for medical interventions. But can't they A/B test e.g. communications or in-app experiences that try to get you to come in for insurance-covered stuff? This doesn't need to be evil -- maybe they search for messaging which gets more people in the door for vaccine boosters or regular physicals. Maybe after scheduling a kid's checkup, the app nags you to schedule your own, etc.
