Changes to provisions covering prescription drug prior authorizations, transactions with group purchasers, prescription drug price transparency, health maintenance organizations, network design, coverage for immunizations, access to certain data collected, and obsolete language made.

This bill updates Minnesota's health insurance laws to modernize how prescription drug prior authorizations are handled between healthcare providers and insurance companies. It requires that by January 1, 2027, all drug prior authorization requests be exchanged electronically using a specific national standard, replacing older methods like fax or paper. The legislation also clarifies rules for certain insurance groups that are not covered by federal privacy laws, adjusting their electronic data exchange requirements. Additionally, the bill adds a definition for biosimilar drugs and removes outdated language from several existing health statutes. These changes aim to streamline administrative processes and improve efficiency in prescription drug coverage management.
