SB 306: Health care coverage: prior authorizations.

This bill aims to regulate health care coverage by requiring health care service plans and health insurers to report statistics on prior authorization decisions. The departments must issue instructions on July 1, 2026, to report the percentage of approved or modified covered health care services. A list of services approved at a rate of 90% or higher will be published by July 1, 2027. By January 1, 2028, plans and insurers must stop requiring prior authorization for the most frequently approved services. The bill also allows for reinstatement of prior authorization for specific providers who have engaged in fraudulent activity. The departments will publish reports on the impact of the cessation of prior authorization requirements after four years.
