AN ACT relating to coverage for mental health or substance use disorders.

Summary

The bill changes state insurance law so that any health plan issued or renewed after Jan. 1, 2022 must cover mental health and substance‑use disorder treatment without stricter limits than it does for physical illnesses. It forces insurers to combine deductibles and out‑of‑pocket costs for both types of care and to report annually that they are meeting these parity rules. The goal is to make mental health care as accessible as medical care.
