Clarifies that prior authorization for air ambulances is only prohibited for nonprofit organizations.

This bill corrects an inadvertent omission from a previous law and specifies that the prohibition on requiring prior authorization for air ambulance services before transporting an individual enrolled in a health plan or managed care plan to a hospital or between hospitals for urgent care applies only to air ambulance service providers that are nonprofit organizations. The bill is retroactive to August 9, 2024, the effective date of the previous law.
