Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Insurance must cover collaborative mental health care
Beginning January 1, 2027, health plans that cover mental health must pay for care delivered through the psychiatric collaborative care model. This includes services billed under CPT codes 99492, 99493, 99494, and any later codes the Insurance Department lists. Your insurer can deny payment if it decides the service is not medically necessary and follows federal mental health parity and state review rules. This applies to plans issued, delivered, or renewed on or after January 1, 2027. This can lower your out-of-pocket costs if you get care through this model.
State updates collaborative care codes and waiver steps
The Insurance Department keeps an administrative rule that lists the billing codes for the psychiatric collaborative care model. The rule shows updates to current CPT codes and any other codes that meet the model. If this state coverage counts as extra beyond federal essential health benefits, the Department must apply for a federal waiver within 180 days after January 1, 2027. Any change in costs for people depends on federal approval.
