Overview
This bill prevents health insurance companies, third-party administrators, and state-run health benefit programs from requiring pre-approval or precertification before covering prenatal ultrasound screenings. It ensures that if a prenatal ultrasound is covered under a health plan and prescribed by a healthcare provider, insurance companies cannot demand approval beforehand. The law aims to protect patients from unnecessary hurdles when accessing medically recommended prenatal care.
