Bill overview
This bill, H.1277, aims to expand healthcare coverage to include treatment for individuals with both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder – often referred to as ‘dual diagnosis.’ The legislation seeks to ensure that these individuals have access to the necessary therapies and support services to improve their overall health and well-being. By increasing coverage for these specialized treatments, the bill intends to address a significant gap in care and support individuals struggling with co-occurring conditions. It builds upon similar past proposals and is currently under consideration by the Massachusetts legislature.
