Summary

The bill mandates that every health benefit plan provide coverage for a yearly behavioral health well‑check for children and adults, performed by a licensed behavioral health professional. Plans may not charge copays, require prior authorization, or deny the service when it is delivered alongside physical health care, except where a cost‑share is needed to keep a health‑savings‑account status. The aim is to improve early detection and treatment of mental health issues.
