SB 363: Health care coverage: independent medical review.
What SB 363 does, verified August 15, 2026
This bill requires health care service plans and health insurers to annually report the total number of claims processed and treatment denials or modifications, separated and disaggregated. The departments must compare this data to the number of successful independent medical review overturns and reversals. For health care service plans or insurers with 10 or more independent medical reviews, liability for an administrative penalty is imposed if more than 50% of reviews result in an overturning or reversal of a treatment denial or modification. The departments must include data and analysis in reports and create funds to receive and deposit penalties generated from these penalties.
