Bill > SB910

This bill requires health insurance policies, contracts, or certificates in Maryland to reimburse insured individuals or covered persons for services provided by graduate-level clinical interns in counseling, social work, and psychology, under specific conditions. These conditions include that the services must be rendered at an outpatient healthcare facility by an intern enrolled in a relevant graduate program, and must be provided under the direct supervision of a board-approved supervisor who meets specific qualifications, with billing handled by that supervisor. This provision aims to ensure that patients receive coverage for services from these trainees when they are properly overseen, and the bill specifies that these changes will apply to all relevant health benefit plans issued, delivered, or renewed in the state on or after January 1, 2027.
