Bill Summary
Relative to substance abuse healthcare coverage. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires insurance providers in Massachusetts, including the Group Insurance Commission, Medicaid, and private insurers, to provide coverage for substance abuse and mental health treatment at the same level as coverage for other medical conditions. The coverage cannot have more restrictive treatment limitations, payment limits, or financial requirements than those applied to other medical conditions. However, the bill excludes coverage for certain types of services, such as educational or correctional programs, long-term residential mental health programs longer than 45 days, and court-ordered sex offender treatment programs.
