AZ HB2726

New health care insurers must honor prior authorizations granted by previous insurers for the first 90 days of coverage, though the new insurer may conduct a review during this period.

Health care insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, and utilization review agents must post all prior authorization requirements and clinical criteria on their publicly accessible websites in understandable language.

New or amended prior authorization requirements must be posted on the insurer's website and enrollees must receive 60 days' notice before implementation.

Prior authorizations for chronic or long-term care conditions remain valid for at least one year and cannot require renewal for the same health care service, regardless of dosage changes.

All other prior authorizations remain valid for at least six months from approval and remain in effect despite any changes in prescription dosage.
