Insurance for mental health and substance use.

Summary

HB 1134 expands Indiana’s definition of "treatment of a mental illness or substance abuse" to include services from a wider range of licensed counselors, social workers, marriage‑and‑family therapist associates, clinical addiction counselor associates, and trainees, even if they are out‑of‑network. It also obligates insurers and health‑plan contracts to file yearly reports showing that any limits on mental health or substance‑use care are no more restrictive than limits on other medical care, in line with the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Act.
