AN ACT PROHIBITING HEALTH CARRIERS FROM USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE EVALUATION AND DETERMINATION OF PATIENT CARE.

SB 447 prohibits health insurance carriers (health carriers) from using artificial intelligence to evaluate or decide on patient care. This would directly affect insurance companies that currently use AI tools for medical coverage approvals. The bill requires health carriers to stop relying on AI systems when determining patient access to tests, medications, or procedures. Its stated purpose is to ensure patients maintain access to necessary healthcare services without AI-driven decisions. The bill amends Title 38a of the general statutes and is pending review by the Insurance and Real Estate Committee.
