Bill overview
This bill makes changes to how health insurers handle prior authorization requests for medical and dental care. It prohibits insurers, including those covering public employees, from solely relying on artificial intelligence or automated decision tools to deny or modify these requests. Instead, insurers must approve requests unless a licensed healthcare professional determines the care isn't medically necessary. The bill also clarifies requirements for self-insured plans and encourages physicians to discuss stem cell therapy options with patients.
