Bill Text

Kentucky SB212 amends mental health coverage requirements for insurers.

Kentucky SB212 mandates that insurers offering health benefit plans must comply with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008. It requires insurers to make their review criteria for mental health condition benefits publicly available and prohibits them from imposing nonquantitative treatment limitations on mental health benefits that are more restrictive than those applied to medical and surgical benefits. The bill also establishes internal and external appeal processes for adverse determinations and coverage denials related to mental health conditions.
