California AB2011 mandates comparative analyses for nonquantitative treatment limitations on mental health and substance use disorder benefits.
California AB2011 requires insurers and health care service plans to perform and document comparative analyses of nonquantitative treatment limitations (NQTLs) on mental health and substance use disorder benefits. Each analysis must include detailed explanations of factors, evidentiary standards, and outcomes data, ensuring that NQTLs are no more restrictive than those applied to medical/surgical benefits. The bill emphasizes transparency and enforceability of parity protections, aiming to address systemic noncompliance with mental health parity laws.
