Prohibits pre-approval or precertification of prenatal ultrasound screenings covered under health benefits plans.

This bill prohibits health insurers, third-party administrators, and state health benefit programs (like the State Health Benefits Program and School Employees' Health Benefits Program) from requiring prior approval or precertification for covered prenatal ultrasound screenings. It directly affects patients seeking these screenings and the health plans that cover them, ensuring that if a licensed provider prescribes a prenatal ultrasound and it's covered under the plan, the insurer cannot delay or block coverage through pre-approval steps. The law applies immediately to all health plans issued or purchased on or after its effective date. This changes the process by removing a common administrative barrier for a specific type of prenatal care.
