Requiring the Public Employees Agency and other health insurance providers to provide mental health parity

Summary

The bill obligates the Public Employees Insurance Agency and other health insurers to cover prevention, screening, and treatment of behavioral, mental health, and substance‑use disorders at least as extensively as they cover medical and surgical services. It also adds reporting, disclosure, and network rules to enforce that parity. The aim is to eliminate unequal limits on mental‑health benefits for plan members.
