Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to health; providing health plan coverage for certain acupuncture services; proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 62Q.
AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance plans in Minnesota to cover acupuncture services for pain treatment and ongoing pain management when performed by a licensed acupuncture practitioner. Specifically, the bill mandates that health plans must provide coverage for at least 30 acupuncture visits before they can require prior authorization for additional services. This means patients will have more accessible and potentially more affordable options for pain management through acupuncture treatments. The law will take effect on January 1, 2027, and will apply to all health plans offered, issued, or renewed to Minnesota residents on or after that date. By establishing this requirement, the bill aims to expand treatment options and reduce potential barriers to receiving acupuncture services for pain management.
