Starting January 1, 2024, health insurance companies in South Dakota must cover mental health and substance abuse treatment delivered through the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model, which is a team-based approach where a primary care doctor, care manager, and psychiatric consultant work together to treat patients. This new requirement applies to all individual and group health insurance policies renewed or issued in the state, except for limited-benefit plans that cover only specific diseases.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
