Bill overview
This bill requires Michigan health insurance companies to more quickly approve or deny applications from mental health and substance use disorder providers. Insurers must assess applications within 60 days of receiving a complete application, with an additional 15-day extension possible if needed due to circumstances like sanctions or investigations. Providers who haven't been approved will be reimbursed at the standard in-network rate, and the bill clarifies the process for both initial and renewal credentialing, expanding the definition of ‘mental health or substance use disorder provider’ to include various licensed professionals.
