Bill Summary
For legislation to provide access to full spectrum addiction treatment services. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide access to a full spectrum of addiction treatment services. It defines and mandates coverage for "acute treatment services," "clinical stabilization services," and "transitional support services" under various health insurance plans, including the state's Group Insurance Commission, Medicaid, and private insurers. The bill requires these services to be covered for up to 30 days without prior authorization, and it prohibits insurance carriers from denying future medically necessary services unless the patient has received at least 30 consecutive days of such services. Additionally, the bill requires the Center for Health Information and Analysis to review the effects of the expanded coverage on the continuum of care, access to services, and costs.
