DENVER A bill moving through the Colorado legislature is aimed at breaking the cost barrier that may come with accessing mental health resources.
HB 21-1068 would require health insurance plans to provide coverage for the total cost of an annual mental health examination.
If passed, the coverage would apply to insurance plans issued or renewed in the state on or after Jan. 1, 2022.
State Rep. Dafna Michaelson Janet (D-Adams County) said the pandemic heightened the need for increased mental health resources. She said she is optimistic it will receive bipartisan support.
