Bill > H1141

This bill amends various chapters of the Massachusetts General Laws to require health insurance coverage for medically necessary acute treatment services, clinical stabilization services, and co-occurring treatment services for up to a total of 14 days, without requiring prior authorization. It also requires coverage for substance use disorder evaluations ordered under state law, without prior authorization. The key terms are "acute treatment services," "clinical stabilization services," and "co-occurring treatment services," which refer to different levels of inpatient substance use disorder treatment. The bill aims to expand access to comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment for individuals covered by public and private health insurance plans in Massachusetts.
