Prior Authorization Accountability Act
Refreshed 1 h ago
Introduced 2026-06-23Topic: health careSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require health plans and insurers that use prior authorization (advance approval before covering an item or service) to report data to the federal government and post it on a public website, starting with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The reports would list which items and services need prior authorization, how many requests were approved or denied, how many denials were appealed and overturned, and how long decisions took. Plans would also report how many requests were decided solely by artificial intelligence or similar technology and describe that technology. Starting with 2029 plan years, health insurance Exchange websites would include this information when people compare plans.
