The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 256B.761, to require that payment rates for family therapy services be equal to those for individual therapy services. Specifically, it introduces a new provision stating that, effective for services rendered on or after July 1, 2024, all behavioral health services provided as family services must be compensated at a rate not less than that of individual services. This change aims to enhance access to family therapy by ensuring equitable reimbursement rates.

In addition to this new requirement, the bill maintains existing provisions regarding reimbursement for various mental health services, including medication management and outpatient services. The adjustments made by this bill reflect a commitment to improving mental health service accessibility and support for families in need of therapy.
