An Act To Regulate The Use Of Prior Authorization For Health Care Provider Services

This bill (LD 459) is a concept draft proposing regulations for prior authorization in Maine's healthcare system. It would establish rules for when health insurance plans require providers to get pre-approval before covering certain services. The bill directly affects healthcare providers (like doctors and hospitals) and insurers who use prior authorization practices. However, as a concept draft under Joint Rule 208, it does not yet detail specific requirements or mechanisms. The full provisions are not provided in the current context.
