a. On receipt of information documenting a prior authorization from the covered person or the health care provider of the covered person, a payer shall honor a prior authorization granted to a covered person by a previous payer for at least the initial 60 days of coverage under a new health plan of the covered person, if that prior authorization was based on information provided in good faith by a provider.
b. During the initial 60 days described in subsection a. of this section, a payer may perform its own review to grant a prior authorization.
c. If there is a change in coverage or approval criteria for a previously prior authorized covered service by the health benefits plan issuing the change, the change in coverage or approval criteria shall not affect a covered person who received prior authorization before the effective date of the change for the remainder of the plan year of the covered person, unless the prior authorization previously issued for a covered service was issued based on materially inaccurate medical information or fraudulent information.
d. A payer shall continue to honor a prior authorization it has granted to a covered person when the covered person changes products under the same payer, provided the service for which prior authorization was issued remains a covered benefit under the terms and conditions of the replacement health benefits plan.
