Mississippi Medical Judgement Protection Act; create.
HB 1717, the Mississippi Medical Judgment Protection Act, requires healthcare providers and facilities using AI to assist in clinical decisions (like diagnoses or treatment plans) to disclose this AI use in patient records and have a licensed clinician review and approve all AI-generated content before it becomes part of the medical record. The bill prohibits automated insurance payment denials without physician or dentist review, mandates annual AI use reports from insurers to the Department of Insurance, and requires tamper-resistant audit logs tracking which clinician reviewed AI outputs. It also bans using AI-only diagnoses for billing without clinician attestation and supporting clinical evidence, ensuring AI supports rather than replaces professional judgment in patient care.
