AN ACT REQUIRING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH TELEHEALTH.
HB 5366 requires health insurance plans to cover mental health services provided via telehealth for state residents temporarily out of state due to attending college or university. It mandates that the treating healthcare provider must be licensed in the state to offer these services. This policy change ensures students temporarily living outside the state for education can access covered mental health care through telehealth without coverage gaps. The bill does not apply to other telehealth services or to people not meeting these specific conditions. It amends insurance statutes to require this coverage for the defined group.
