Mississippi: AI health lawsYour state
2 entries on the map: 2 in force.
Mississippi's rules bind insurers and utilization review entities, not treating physicians.
Full overviewHide full overview
The Mississippi Prior Authorization Reform Act, in force since July 1, 2024, keeps a 1990 rule that no adverse determination on the necessity of health care services may be made without prior evaluation and concurrence by a Mississippi-licensed physician, which rules out a denial issued by software alone. Bulletin 2026-9, in force since July 22, 2026, expects each licensed insurer, health insurers included, to govern its AI under a written program. HB 1717, which would have required clinician sign-off on AI output entering the record and barred automated coverage denials, died in committee Feb. 3, 2026.
