Indiana Legislation

 This law requires state authorities to amend state Medicaid plans to include reimbursement for the treatment of outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment services. It also requires health maintenance organizations and insurers to submit annual reports demonstrating compliance with the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, including an analysis for each non-quantitative treatment limitation in each classification of care consistent with the six-step process.

This bill addressed the Indiana Medicaid expansion. Among other things, this bill required that the benefits offered to these individuals must include mental health and substance use disorder coverage that is in compliance with the Federal Parity Law. This bill is similar to SB 551 from the 2013 legislative session and HB 1309 from the 2014 legislative session.

This bill tried to change the state Medicaid law so that partial hospitalization and outpatient mental health services would be provided. The bill specified that individual outpatient psychotherapy, group outpatient psychotherapy, and family outpatient psychotherapy are included. It also stated that a licensed clinical addiction counselor should be reimbursed at the same rate as any other provider who provides partial hospitalization or outpatient services.
