AB 669 (Haney, D-San Francisco)

AB 669 would require health plans, starting in 2027, to cover all in-network substance use disorder treatments without prior authorization, including medically necessary prescription drugs; outpatient services; and the first 28 days of inpatient, intensive outpatient, or partial hospitalization treatments. For inpatient treatments that last longer than 28 days, the bill specifies a concurrent review and appeal process. For intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization treatments that last longer than 28 days, the bill specifies a retrospective review process.
