Bill overview
This bill aims to increase transparency and predictability in health insurance coverage by revising rules surrounding prior authorization. It requires health insurers, including those covering Medicaid and public employees, to clearly outline the criteria used for prior authorization requests and publish their procedures online. The bill also sets stricter time limits for responding to requests, prohibits denying claims due to failed prior authorizations, and ensures that adverse determinations are made by qualified medical professionals. Furthermore, it addresses coverage for autism spectrum disorders and prohibits insurers from considering other government benefits when making coverage decisions.
