What it does
The Mental Health and MAMA Act of 2026 would require group health plans and health insurance issuers to eliminate cost-sharing for mental health and substance use disorder services provided by in-network providers from the diagnosis of pregnancy through one year postpartum. This applies to coverage under the Public Health Service Act, ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, with provisions taking effect two years after enactment. The bill also includes continuity of care amendments to ensure ongoing treatment access for pregnant and postpartum individuals receiving mental health or substance use disorder services.
