Massachusetts H4900 mandates insurance coverage for substance use disorder treatment services.

Massachusetts H4900 amends state laws to require insurance coverage for substance use disorder treatment services. It defines "acute treatment services," "clinical stabilization services," and "transitional support services," and mandates coverage for these services for up to 30 days without preauthorization. The bill also requires insurance carriers to initiate utilization review procedures on day 14 but prohibits them from restricting or denying future services unless a patient has received at least 30 consecutive days of treatment.
