Georgia (from January 2027): AI can help insurers process paperwork, but can't say no to care
Georgia's SB 444, effective January 1, 2027, draws a clean line: insurers may use AI in prior authorization to automate paperwork and reduce administrative burden — but an adverse decision (denying or reducing care) can't be issued until a qualified clinical peer has actually conducted the review and participated in the decision. The AI also can't override that clinician's judgment. If you operate in Georgia, nothing changes today, but this is worth having on your 2027 compliance calendar now.
