Bill overview
The Primary and Behavioral Health Care Access Act of 2021 requires private health insurance plans to cover three primary care visits and three behavioral health care visits per year without requiring cost-sharing. This legislation amends several key laws – the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), and the Internal Revenue Code – to ensure these services are accessible and affordable. It also establishes definitions for key terms like ‘primary care visit’ and ‘behavioral health care visit’ and outlines the types of providers who qualify for these visits.
