AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- THE PROTECT MENTAL HEALTH ACT

Summary

The Protect Mental Health Act forces insurers that cover mental health or substance‑use services to follow federal parity rules, eliminating unequal cost‑sharing and treatment limits. Insurers must collect data on non‑quantitative limits, prove they don’t bias mental health care, and provide core treatments in every benefit class where medical care is offered. This aims to ensure fair access to mental health care for Rhode Island residents.
