Health insurance companies in South Dakota must now follow specific rules when using artificial intelligence or similar software tools to decide whether to approve payment for health care services. These tools must consider each patient's individual medical history and circumstances rather than relying solely on group data, and must be applied consistently and equally to all patients under a health plan. The requirement applies to both tools the insurance companies use directly and tools used by contractors they work with.
