Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Health plan prior approvals change

The law deletes one prior-authorization rule in the provider code and one in the insurance code. This changes state rules on when plans and providers must get approval before care. Your plan’s approval steps for some services can change, which can affect access and out-of-pocket costs. All changes take effect immediately when the act becomes law.
