Illinois will soon ban insurance companies from automatically coding a health service lower than what is provided to patients.

This plan states all downcoding determinations must be made or reviewed by a real person, and insurance companies would be required to notify doctors if a service is downcoded.

The Illinois Senate Insurance Committee unanimously approved a bill to prohibit insurance companies from using artificial intelligence to code a health service lower than what is actually provided to patients.

A bill in Springfield could prohibit health insurance companies from using artificial intelligence to code a health service lower than what is actually provided to patients.
