Usage of artificial intelligence in the utilization review process prohibition provision
Related bill: HF1838
AI Generated Summary
This bill (S.F. No. 1856) proposes an amendment to Minnesota law that would prohibit the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the utilization review process for health insurance. Specifically, it amends Minnesota Statutes Section 62M.02 and adds a new provision under Chapter 62M to define "artificial intelligence" as per U.S. law (15 U.S.C. § 9401).
The bill explicitly bans utilization review organizations from employing AI in any aspect of their review, evaluation, determination, or appeals processes related to health insurance coverage decisions. The intent is to ensure that such decisions remain under human oversight rather than automated systems.
