The Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA) reported on legislative developments impacting healthcare providers and payers in Arizona. [25] Among the bills discussed, HB2175, which is part of AzHHA's broader push for health plan accountability, requires medical directors at health insurance companies to personally review denials related to medical necessity for both prior authorizations and claims.
