Illinois SB 3114, introduced by Sen. Dave Koehler with broad bipartisan support, would require health insurers to disclose when they use AI or algorithms to 'downcode' medical claims (paying providers less than what was billed by reassigning codes). Insurers would have to explain the downcoding decision, identify whether AI was involved, and give providers a way to appeal.
