Health care coverage: prior authorizations.

Summary

The bill changes state law so that once a health plan or insurer approves a prior authorization, it cannot be cancelled or altered after the provider has performed the service in good faith. The authorization must remain in effect for a minimum of one year, or for the full course of treatment if shorter. This protects patients from unexpected coverage changes and makes violations a criminal offense.
