Massachusetts H1136 aims to improve the health insurance prior authorization process.

Massachusetts H1136 seeks to enhance the health insurance prior authorization process by mandating that carriers and utilization review organizations make prior authorization requirements publicly available. It requires carriers to cover approved treatments, services, or medications for stable members for the remainder of the benefit year or 90 days, whichever is longer. The bill also establishes a task force to analyze prior authorization data and recommend improvements, including simplifying and standardizing prior authorization processes.
