Pregnant and new parents would get free mental health and addiction care through their health plans.
This bill would stop most health plans from charging co-pays or deductibles for in-network mental health and substance use disorder services. This coverage would last from the start of pregnancy until one year after the pregnancy ends. It would also make it easier for pregnant and new parents to keep seeing the same care providers for these services.
Currently, health plans can charge co-pays, deductibles, or other fees for mental health and substance use disorder services during pregnancy and for one year postpartum. If this bill passes, these services would be free of charge for in-network providers from pregnancy diagnosis through one year postpartum, and continuity of care protections would be expanded for these individuals.
