Michigan HB5736 amends the Patient's Right to Independent Review Act to expand the definition of substance use disorder services programs to include those exempt from licensure. This change ensures that individuals receiving services from these programs have access to an independent review process when their health benefit plan denies, reduces, or terminates coverage for a health care service. The bill aligns the definition with current licensing exemptions under the public health code, ensuring that all relevant programs are covered under the independent review provisions.
