MODERATE
The bill was renumbered and reorganized from a judicial privacy protection act to include provisions about health insurance coverage denials. The original focus on protecting judicial officers' personal information was replaced with new requirements for insurers to disclose coverage limits and provide detailed denial letters with specific timelines for responses.
Scope change
The bill's scope shifted from protecting judicial officers' personally identifiable information to regulating health insurance coverage denials and managed care plan requirements.
SCOPE

Removed Section 1 entirely, which created protections for judicial officers' personally identifiable information, including requirements to remove such information within 72 hours upon request.

REQUIREMENT

Added Section 2 requiring insurers to define and fully disclose coverage limitations in health insurance policies.

Added Section 2 requiring denial letters to include specific information about the decision-maker, medical reasons for denial, and appeal procedures.

Added Section 3 requiring managed care plans to appoint a medical director who is a licensed physician in good standing.

TIMELINE

Added specific timelines for providing denial letters: 2 working days for preauthorization requests, 24 hours for hospital preadmission reviews, and 20 working days for retrospective reviews.
