Bill > S708

This bill seeks to enhance post-pregnancy mental health care coverage in Massachusetts. It amends various chapters of the state's General Laws to require health plans to cover post-pregnancy mental health care, including postpartum and post-miscarriage mental health care, without any deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or other cost-sharing requirements. The bill also prohibits unreasonable restrictions or delays in providing this coverage, and ensures that benefits for an enrollee also apply to their covered spouse and dependents. The legislation is intended to improve access to critical mental health support for new and expecting parents in the state.
