AI Summary
This bill requires mental health parity for disability insurance policies in Massachusetts. It prohibits individual and group short-term or long-term disability insurance policies from imposing benefit limitations or exclusions on claimants with behavioral health disorders that are not equally imposed on claimants with physical disorders.
