Ohio HB579 regulates the use of artificial intelligence by health insurers, requiring transparency and oversight.

Ohio HB579 mandates that health insurers report annually on their use of artificial intelligence in utilization review processes. Insurers must detail algorithm criteria, data sets, and outcomes. Decisions to deny, delay, or modify health care services based on AI must include a plain language explanation. The superintendent of insurance can audit AI use and publish reports. This applies to health benefit plans issued, amended, or renewed after the bill's effective date.
