An Act providing access to full spectrum addiction treatment services
This bill expands health insurance coverage in Massachusetts to include three specific levels of addiction treatment: acute treatment, clinical stabilization, and transitional support services. It directly affects active and retired state employees and their dependents who are covered by the state's group insurance commission. The law mandates that these services be provided for up to 30 days without requiring preauthorization, while also setting rules for when insurance companies can review a patient's care plan. Additionally, the bill formally defines these treatment types and repeals an older section of state law related to addiction services.
