Modern Healthcare (8/27, McAuliff , Subscription Publication) reports, “While Congress appears stalled with its legislative proposals to streamline prior authorizations, many states have surged ahead and imposed tighter rules on health insurance companies.” A National Conference of State Legislatures database shows that “23 states enacted more than 43 bills related to prior authorization in the last few years, with 18 enacted so far in 2024 alone.”
