Bill overview
This bill requires Michigan health insurance companies to cover treatments and therapies for specific pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders, including pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections and pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome. It ensures that these treatments are covered at the same cost as other benefits, requires timely authorization, and prohibits denial of coverage based on prior treatment history or different diagnostic names. The bill also emphasizes the use of evidence-based treatment guidelines developed by medical professional consortia.
