HJ 123 Study; reimbursement for behavioral evaluations.
Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Reimbursement for behavioral evaluations. Requests the Special Advisory Commission on Mandated Health Insurance Benefits to examine and encourage continuing education of third party payers regarding adequate reimbursement for behavioral evaluations and ADHD and study the feasibility and appropriateness of expanding reimbursement for child evaluations to address an appropriate range of mental health services, including comprehensive assessment by clinical psychologists. In conducting the study, the Commission shall seek the input and expertise of child health and psychology professionals and shall address, among other things, the feasibility of providing reimbursements for child evaluative services without tying such reimbursement to a specific, final diagnosis.
The Commission shall report its written findings and recommendations to the Governor and the 2003 Session of the General Assembly.
This measure is a recommendation of HJR 660 Joint Subcommittee to Investigate the Improper Prescription and Illegal Use and Diversion of Ritalin and OxyContin and to Study the Effects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder on Student Performance.
