Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would require certain health insurance plans, including those offered to state employees, individual accident and sickness policies, hospital service plans, medical service agreements, and health maintenance contracts, to cover behavioral health bundled services. These services, provided by licensed community behavioral health centers for mental health, developmental, or substance use disorders, would need to be covered on a non-discriminatory basis if deemed medically necessary.
