Bill overview
This bill changes Michigan’s health insurance laws to ensure that insurers cannot limit coverage for inpatient psychiatric care based on how long a patient stays in a psychiatric hospital. Currently, some insurance plans may restrict benefits if a patient’s stay exceeds a certain timeframe. This legislation removes that restriction, allowing for longer stays in inpatient psychiatric facilities without impacting coverage. It aims to improve access to necessary mental health treatment.
