SB 547 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Insurance: no-fault; utilization reviews; require compliance with decision on appeal. Amends sec. 3157a of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.3157a).

SB 547 requires healthcare providers (like doctors and hospitals) to submit medical records and comply with insurance reviews for accident-related care under Michigan's no-fault insurance. It creates a formal process for insurers to request explanations for treatments deemed excessive, with providers able to appeal decisions to the state department. The bill also penalizes providers who submit false information during reviews as fraudulent insurance acts. These changes apply to all healthcare providers offering covered services and aim to standardize how insurers evaluate medical care against medical guidelines. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Finance Committee.
