Relates to supplemental therapeutic services reimbursement

Summary

The bill lets the state’s mental health commissioner approve extra payments for counseling, psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or similar services that are medically necessary, included in a care plan, and unavailable after a 21‑day effort to find a provider at the state‑set rate. Eligible individuals (or their representatives) can receive up to 75% of the provider’s charge, with minimum and maximum hourly amounts that are adjusted for inflation. It also sets timelines for applications, appeals, reporting and fraud monitoring.
