AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require group health plans and health insurers that cover mental health or substance use disorder services to stop charging cost sharing, such as copays or deductibles, for those services when provided by in-network providers during pregnancy and for one year after the pregnancy ends. The rule would include telehealth services and would apply to plan years starting two years after the bill becomes law. The bill would also extend existing continuity-of-care protections to people who need mental health or substance use disorder services after a pregnancy from a provider who treated them while pregnant. The same requirements would apply to the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
