AI Summary
This bill requires health care coverage for emergency psychiatric services. It amends various chapters of Massachusetts law to mandate that individual and group health plans, including those issued by the Group Insurance Commission, provide benefits for "emergency services programs" - a term defined to include community-based crisis assessment, intervention, and stabilization services. The bill specifies that these benefits must be provided on a nondiscriminatory basis. The provisions of the bill would take effect on January 1, 2022, and any form filings implementing the act would require approval from the Commissioner of Insurance.
