Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 152 includes more precise language regarding reimbursement rates for transcranial magnetic stimulation services, specifying conditions under which different rates are acceptable. These conditions now explicitly mention the healthcare provider’s network participation, service location, and their level of training or certification as justifiable reasons for rate differences. This change is important because it clarifies how insurers can determine payment rates, potentially impacting access to these services for patients based on provider qualifications and service settings.
