An Act addressing duplicative notifications of UR approvals (administrative simplification)

This bill amends Massachusetts law to streamline how insurance companies and utilization review organizations notify healthcare providers about approval decisions. It requires these entities to send initial and adverse determination notices within 24 hours, while also setting specific timelines for providing written confirmation to both the provider and the insured patient. The legislation aims to reduce administrative delays by clarifying and tightening the schedule for communicating review results, directly affecting insurance carriers, utilization review organizations, and healthcare providers.
