An Act relative to requiring insurance providers cover a minimum of 30 days for in-patient substance abuse treatment

HD 623 requires insurance companies to cover at least 30 days of in-patient treatment for substance abuse disorders, increasing the current minimum from 14 days. The bill directly affects individuals seeking substance abuse treatment and insurance providers operating under Massachusetts law. It amends multiple sections of the state’s insurance statutes (including chapters 32A, 118E, 175, 176A, 176B, and 176G) to replace the figure "14" with "30" in coverage requirements. This is a concrete policy change to expand mandated treatment duration, without altering other insurance terms or creating new programs.
