Bill > H1210

This bill proposes several key provisions related to artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare communications and patient consent. First, it amends existing law to require that patients be informed when healthcare information they receive is generated by AI, and be provided with instructions on how to contact a human healthcare provider. Second, the bill mandates that health insurance carriers disclose the use of AI algorithms or automated decision tools in their claims review process, including a summary of what tools are being used and how. Additionally, carriers will be required to submit an annual report to the division of insurance detailing the AI algorithms and data training sets used in utilization review, along with an attestation that these tools minimize bias across various demographic categories and adhere to evidence-based clinical guidelines. The goal of these provisions is to increase transparency, ensure patient awareness, and mitigate potential risks associated with AI in healthcare settings by providing patients with clear information and maintaining accountability for AI systems used in medical decision-making.
