AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of Massachusetts law to include licensed rehabilitation counselors as "licensed mental health professionals" for the purposes of insurance coverage and access to these services. The bill expands the definition of "licensed mental health professional" to include licensed rehabilitation counselors, in addition to licensed physicians who specialize in psychiatry, licensed psychologists, licensed independent clinical social workers, licensed mental health counselors, licensed nurse mental health clinical specialists, and licensed marriage and family therapists. This change aims to increase consumer access to licensed rehabilitation counselors as part of the broader mental health professional landscape in Massachusetts.
