South Carolina S0443 requires a licensed physician to review healthcare coverage decisions made by automated decision-making tools.

South Carolina S0443 amends the state code to add a new section requiring a licensed physician to supervise and review healthcare coverage decisions made using automated decision-making tools. These tools, which use artificial intelligence, are used to inform decisions to modify or deny requests for authorization prior to or concurrent with the provision of health care services. The bill ensures that no actions are taken based solely on results derived from these tools. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
