Insurance companies and utilization review organizations in South Dakota must now submit annual reports to the Division of Insurance showing how many prior authorization requests they approved or denied (both urgent and routine) and how quickly they made those decisions. The Division of Insurance will then publish these reports so the public can see how insurance companies are handling prior authorization requests. This creates new transparency requirements to help monitor whether insurers are approving or denying coverage requests fairly and on time.
