AI Summary

This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to provide coverage for coordinated specialty care services and assertive community treatment for individuals with first-episode psychosis, serious mental illness, or serious emotional disturbance. The bill defines these treatments and specifies that coverage shall not have visit limits, and that payment for these services shall be based on a bundled treatment model rather than fee-for-service. The bill also directs various state agencies to implement the new coverage requirements and conduct an analysis on the impact of these treatments after 5 years.
