Creates provisions relating to prior authorization of health care services

Summary

The bill would force health carriers and utilization review entities to make prior‑authorization decisions within set time limits, promptly notify providers and enrollees, and use secure electronic systems for requests. It also caps how long an authorization can remain in effect and bars billing patients for services that were authorized at the time of care. The aim is to speed up access to care and increase transparency for Medicaid and private‑plan members.
