Bill Summary
Mental health; cost-sharing requirements for first four outpatient visits limited.
AI Summary
This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to limit cost-sharing requirements for the first four outpatient mental health service visits within a contract year. Specifically, it prohibits health plans from imposing deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments for these initial four visits, though it allows plans to still charge premiums, balance billing amounts for out-of-network providers, and the cost of non-covered services. The bill aims to improve access to mental health care by reducing financial barriers for patients seeking outpatient treatment.
