Healthcare (Substance Abuse)

AB 207 updates Nevada's rules for health insurers and health coverage organizations to report compliance with federal mental health parity and addiction equity laws (the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Act of 2008). It requires these reports to be submitted electronically via a national system (the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing) instead of other methods, and clarifies that only personally identifiable consumer information in the reports is confidential. Insurers must submit reports by October 1 annually, and the Commissioner of Insurance must compile and share an annual summary with the legislature and relevant state officials by December 31. The bill directly affects insurers providing health coverage in Nevada that must comply with federal parity requirements.
