SB 358 Health insurance; mental health coverage.

Introduced by: R. Edward Houck | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health insurance; mental health coverage. Clarifies that the 1999 legislation requiring the state health care plans, health insurers, health services plans and health maintenance organizations to provide coverage for biologically based mental illness applies to policies, contracts, and plans delivered, issued for delivery, reissued or extended, or to which a term is changed or the premium is adjusted, on or after January 1, 2000, which is the effective date of the requirement. The change ensures that the requirement is not made retroactively applicable to policies, contracts, and plans in effect on the legislation's effective date. Amendments also clarify that the mandated coverage does not apply to individual policies.
