relative to the timeline for credentialing of mental health care providers.

HB 507 requires health insurance companies and health plans (health carriers) to process complete credentialing applications from mental health care providers within 30 days of submission. This directly affects health carriers by mandating a strict processing timeline and mental health providers by reducing delays in gaining approval to work with insurers. The bill specifies that the 30-day deadline applies only to applications that are fully complete, meaning all required documentation is submitted upfront. It will take effect on January 1, 2026.
