Child Therapy Amendments

Summary

The bill obligates health insurers to provide a single‑case agreement so a child who was receiving mental‑health treatment while in the Division of Child and Family Services’ custody can continue seeing the same therapist after leaving foster care. It also directs the division to identify existing therapist relationships when a child enters care and to coordinate with parents, guardians, and Medicaid to maintain treatment after exit. The aim is to prevent gaps in mental‑health services for vulnerable children.
