Utah's SB 319, in effect since May 6, 2026, requires insurers to publicly post their preauthorization requirements on their website and to disclose whether AI is used when reviewing authorization requests. It also sets a maximum time insurers can take to answer an authorization request, and sets minimum periods an approval stays valid. Practical upshot for your utilization and scheduling teams: approvals should be faster to get and harder to have silently expire — and you can now find out whether a Utah payer is using AI on your requests just by asking.
