Bill Summary
Relative to the definition of licensed mental health professionals under certain insurance laws. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of Massachusetts law to include licensed rehabilitation counselors within the definition of "licensed mental health professionals" for the purposes of insurance coverage. This change would expand consumer access to rehabilitation counselors by requiring insurance providers to cover their services in the same way they cover other licensed mental health professionals, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers.
