Bill Summary
Relative to providing access to full spectrum addiction treatment services. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to provide access to a full spectrum of addiction treatment services, including acute treatment services, clinical stabilization services, and transitional support services. It requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to cover these services for up to 30 days without prior authorization, and it also requires coverage for substance abuse evaluations ordered by the court. The bill also directs the Center for Health Information and Analysis to conduct reviews on the effects of the increased coverage on the continuum of care, access to care, and costs.
