New health data tools for insured people

The Tennessee law takes effect July 1, 2025. Health insurers must maintain five digital tools meeting federal standards for insured people and contracted providers. These cover patient access, provider directories, insurer-to-insurer data exchange, provider access, and prior authorization. Each tool must be ready by the earliest deadline that federal Medicare and Medicaid regulators set for any regulated plan or product type. The law also deletes a health insurance subsection and a health-record exception, along with the reference to that exception. The supplied text does not explain those deleted rules, so their separate effects are unclear.
