Bill > AB207

This bill revises the reporting requirements for insurers and health coverage organizations regarding mental health parity and addiction equity compliance. Specifically, the bill modifies how insurers submit annual data requests or reports to the Commissioner of Insurance, mandating that these submissions be made through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' electronic filing system. The bill also changes the confidentiality provisions for these submissions, making them public records with two key exceptions: personally identifiable consumer information and information that the Commissioner determines to be a trade secret. The bill establishes strict standards for classifying information as a trade secret, stating that compliance information alone cannot be considered a trade secret and that any uncertainty should be resolved in favor of disclosure. This follows the federal Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, which requires health plans to provide equal coverage for mental health and substance use disorders as they do for medical and surgical benefits. The Commissioner is still required to compile an annual report summarizing the submitted information and distribute it to various state entities, including the Governor and the Legislature.
