SB586

Virginia SB586 regulates health carriers' use of AI in managing coverage and claims.

Virginia SB586 amends the Code of Virginia to establish ethics and fairness in health carrier business practices, particularly regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The bill mandates that health carriers cannot exclusively rely on AI or automated decision tools to deny, reduce, or alter coverage or claims. It requires carriers to deliver provider contracts and related amendments electronically and to publicly disclose AI use in managing insurance claims and coverage. Additionally, carriers must submit necessary information to the Commission upon request.
