Coverage for Mental Health Mobile Crisis Response and Stabilization Services

 

On March 22, 2023, Gov. Youngkin signed SB 1347/HB 2216 into law. The new law requires group health insurance policies to cover mobile crisis response services and stabilization services delivered in a residential crisis stabilization unit for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. These services must be covered to the extent they are covered in any other setting, regardless of any difference in billing codes. The mandate applies to policies issued or renewed in Virginia on and after January 1, 2024.

Employers sponsoring health plans in Virginia should be aware of this development and contact their carrier for further information.
