AI Summary

This bill requires insurers to authorize the maximum allowable number of annual treatment sessions under a child's insurance plan if the child's provider or therapist has filed a plan of care with the insurer during the calendar year, without requiring further authorization on a periodic basis. The insurer must authorize access to all treatments as filed within the plan of care at the beginning of each calendar year, and the provider or therapist must file quarterly reports with the insurer documenting that the treatment is ongoing and medically necessary.
