HB 579 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Regulate the use of artificial intelligence by health insurers

HB 579 would require Ohio health insurers to follow new rules when using artificial intelligence for coverage decisions or pricing. It establishes specific requirements for transparency in AI decision-making and mandates bias testing for algorithms used in insurance processes. These rules directly apply to all health insurance companies operating in Ohio. The bill amends existing law (section 3902.50) and adds new provisions (section 3902.80) to create these regulatory standards.
