An Act relative to requiring insurance providers cover a minimum of 30 days for in-patient substance abuse treatment

This bill requires insurance providers in Massachusetts to cover a minimum of 30 days for in-patient substance abuse treatment, increasing the current mandatory coverage from 14 days. The legislation directly affects health insurance companies and individuals seeking residential addiction care by mandating longer stays under existing state laws. It achieves this change by amending multiple sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to replace the number 14 with 30 across various insurance and health care statutes.
