Bill
SB 447
Connecticut bill SB 447 would ban health insurers from using artificial intelligence in patient care evaluation and coverage determinations.
SB 447 would prohibit health insurance carriers operating in Connecticut from using artificial intelligence in evaluating and determining patient care decisions. The bill essentially bans AI-assisted tools that insurers currently use in claims processing, coverage determinations, and medical necessity assessments. This represents a comprehensive restriction on algorithmic decision-making in insurance coverage.
Health insurers increasingly rely on AI systems to process thousands of claims daily and determine coverage eligibility, potentially affecting millions of Connecticut residents' access to care. Studies have documented cases where AI algorithms made incorrect coverage denials or delayed approvals, sometimes without human review. The bill addresses growing public concern about opaque algorithmic decision-making in healthcare while raising questions about operational feasibility and cost implications.
