An Act amending Title 40 (Insurance) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in regulation of insurers and related persons generally, providing for disclosure of addiction treatment coverage and for administrative penalties.
This bill requires health insurance companies in Pennsylvania to send their policyholders a clear, two-page notice twice each year explaining what addiction treatment services are covered under their plans. The notice must detail specific care levels like detoxification and rehabilitation, explain how long stays are available, describe how to access services, and outline appeal processes. Insurers must submit these notices to the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs for review before sending them to customers, and the department has 45 days to approve or request changes. Companies that fail to provide this information as required could face administrative fines or penalties determined by the department.
