§ 38a-488c — Mental health and substance use disorder benefits. Nonquantitative treatment limitations.

No individual health insurance policy providing coverage of the type specified in subdivisions (1), (2), (4), (11) and (12) of section 38a-469 delivered, issued for delivery, renewed, amended or continued in this state on or after January 1, 2020, shall apply a nonquantitative treatment limitation to mental health and substance use disorder benefits unless such policy applies such limitation to such benefits in a manner that is comparable to, and not more stringent than, the manner in which such policy applies such limitation to medical and surgical benefits. For the purposes of this section, “nonquantitative treatment limitation” and “mental health and substance use disorder benefits” have the same meaning as provided in section 38a-477ee. See Sec. 38a-514c for similar provisions re group policies.
