Requires prior authorization requests to be submitted directly to the medical indemnity fund and mandates timely notification of qualifying health.

New York Assembly Bill A01936 amends the public health law to require any regulation mandating prior authorization to establish a mechanism for health care providers to submit requests directly to the medical indemnity fund. Additionally, the bill mandates that the medical indemnity fund administrator notify qualified plaintiffs which health care costs qualify for payment from the fund and which do not, within a reasonably prompt period of time. This ensures transparency and efficiency in the processing of prior authorization requests and cost notifications.
