This bill amends the Social Welfare Act of 1939 by adding a new section, 107b, which prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services or any contracted health plan from denying, modifying, or delaying claims under the medical assistance program based on reviews conducted using artificial intelligence.

The intent of this legislation is to ensure that decisions regarding medical assistance claims are not adversely affected by automated processes, thereby protecting the rights of individuals seeking assistance. This addition aims to promote fairness and transparency in the claims process within the state's medical assistance program.
