Bill Summary · HB 1620

Legislative bill overview

HB 1620 requires healthcare providers and facilities in Indiana to disclose when artificial intelligence is being used in patient care, diagnosis, treatment planning, or clinical decision-making. The bill establishes transparency requirements to ensure patients are informed about AI involvement in their medical decisions and creates standards for how and when such disclosures must occur.

Why is this important

As AI tools become increasingly integrated into healthcare—from diagnostic imaging to treatment recommendations—patients have a legitimate interest in knowing when algorithmic systems influence their care. Disclosure requirements can help patients make informed decisions about their treatment, understand potential limitations of AI tools, and maintain transparency in the doctor-patient relationship during a period of rapid healthcare technology adoption.

Potential points of contention

  • Implementation burden: Healthcare providers may argue that detailed disclosure requirements create administrative overhead and could slow down care delivery, particularly in emergency situations where immediate disclosure may be impractical
  • Competitive concerns: Healthcare systems might claim that disclosing which specific AI tools or vendors they use could disadvantage them competitively or reveal proprietary information
  • Definition ambiguity: The bill's success depends heavily on how "artificial intelligence use" is defined—overly broad definitions could require disclosures for routine software tools, while narrow definitions might miss significant AI applications
  • Patient comprehension: Critics may question whether patients can meaningfully understand technical AI disclosures and whether required disclosures would actually inform decision-making or become perfunctory checkboxes
