Prior authorization.

Changed the effective date from July 1, 2025 to January 24, 2025 for the bill's introduction, though the actual provisions remain effective July 1, 2025.

Removed detailed definitions for 'clinical peer' that specified requirements for physicians, nurses, and other providers who can conduct peer reviews.

Added new definitions for 'adverse determination' and 'authorization' to clarify what these terms mean in the context of prior authorization.

Changed the document format from 'Enrolled Senate Bill' to 'Senate Bill' with updated digest information and sponsor signatures.

Removed draft formatting elements including 'ENGROSSED' headers, committee digests, and legislative history notes that were present in the working version.

Added 'SENATE ENROLLED ACT No. 480' and 'SEA 480 - Concur' headers to indicate the bill has passed both chambers and is in final enrolled form.

Reformatted page headers and footers to match standard enrolled act formatting, removing page numbers and tracking codes from the working draft.

The digest synopsis was updated to specify a new requirement prohibiting prior authorization for the first 12 physical therapy or chiropractic visits in each new episode of care.

The definition of 'clinical peer' was expanded with additional statutory references (IC 25-22.5 and IC 25-1-21) and restructured formatting to clarify licensing requirements.

Citations affected were simplified from specific code sections (e.g., IC 27-8-5.7-12) to broader categories (e.g., IC 27-8), and the bill's title was updated to reflect its engrossed status.

Multiple new sponsors were added to the sponsor list, including Ford J.D., Alexander, Bassler, and others, reflecting additional legislative support.
