Enhances post-pregnancy mental health care coverage in Massachusetts.

This bill amends various sections of Massachusetts law to enhance post-pregnancy mental health care coverage. It ensures that post-pregnancy mental health care, including postpartum and post-miscarriage care, is covered without any deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or other cost-sharing. The bill also mandates that benefits for enrollees, their spouses, and dependents remain consistent. The changes will take effect six months after the bill's passage.
