HB5557

Illinois HB5557 mandates health carriers to report mental health coverage data annually, enhancing transparency and public understanding.

Illinois HB5557, known as the Truth in Mental Health Coverage Act, requires health carriers to annually submit detailed data on mental health coverage to the Illinois Director of Insurance. The data, which must be disaggregated by facility type, professional provider type, youth, adult, in-person, and telehealth services, includes utilization review, in-network reimbursement, and network admission evaluation. The Director must post this data on a public website within three months of receipt, ensuring it is in an easily accessible, consumer-friendly format and machine-readable.
