Provides that for all group or individual policies of accident and health insurance or managed care plans that are amended, delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, or any contracted third party administering the behavioral health benefits for the insurer, reimbursement for in-network mental health and substance use disorder treatment services delivered by Illinois providers and facilities must be equal to or greater than 141% of the Medicare rate for the mental health or substance use disorder service delivered (rather than on average, at least as favorable as professional services provided by in-network primary care providers).
