Coverage for
mental, nervous and substance-related disorders is a "mandatory offer"
under Florida law; that is, insurers and HMO's must offer it in small
group health plans and it must be offered through government employee
insurance programs. The coverage is limited. Major legislation
considered during the 2008 session would significantly expand this
mandatory offer.
Excellent background is available on the bill
and health insurance coverage for mental and nervous disorders
generally from the Senate Banking & Insurance Committee analysis on
SB 164, dated February 26, 2008.
