An Act amending Title 40 (Insurance) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in regulation of insurers and related persons generally, providing for addiction treatment services information collection and reporting.

This Pennsylvania bill requires health insurance companies to collect and report detailed statistics on addiction treatment services provided under their plans. Insurers must submit annual reports to the state department by April 30, including data on the number of people receiving treatment, units of service authorized and paid for, average length of stay, and the percentage of treatment requests that were denied or limited. The reported information is broken down by treatment type, such as inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient services, and detoxification, while protecting individual patient privacy. The state Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs will review these reports to check compliance with federal parity laws and Pennsylvania regulations, then share findings with legislative committees.
