Minnesota SF731 prohibits prior authorization for health services with a liability of $100 or less.

Minnesota SF731 amends state statutes to prohibit prior authorization for health services where the health plan company's liability is $100 or less. Exceptions include emergency services, certain preventive screenings, pediatric hospice services, and neonatal abstinence treatment. Medications for mental health and substance use disorder treatment, and cancer treatment, still require prior authorization but follow specific processing rules. These changes apply to health benefit plans offered, sold, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026.
