Health plan coverage provision for certain acupuncture services

This bill requires health insurance plans in Minnesota to cover acupuncture services for pain treatment when provided by licensed practitioners. It mandates at least 30 covered visits before insurers can require prior approval for additional sessions. The law applies to all health plans sold to Minnesota residents and takes effect January 1, 2027, for plans offered, issued, or renewed on or after that date. This directly affects health insurers and patients seeking acupuncture for pain management.
