This law doesn't stop insurers from using utilization management tools already common as of March 2010. HHS can't write rules banning those existing tools either. This section also doesn't limit how the rest of this subtitle applies.

Regardless of any other provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, nothing in that Act (or its amendments) should be read to: (1) prohibit — or let the Secretary of Health and Human Services issue regulations that prohibit — a group health plan or health insurance issuer from using utilization management techniques that were already commonly used as of March 23, 2010; or (2) restrict how the amendments made by this subtitle apply.
