This evening, the Michigan House of Representatives is voting on HB 4707 to enhance access to mental health care and substance use disorder services for residents with private insurance.

HB 4707 requires insurance companies to use criteria established by doctors and professional associations — instead of their own secretive rules — ensuring coverage decisions prioritize what’s best for a patient, rather than the insurance company’s profits.

The insurance lobby is working really hard tonight to prevent this bill from passing and your representatives need to hear from you! We need your help to ensure the House passes HB 4707.

Please send a message to your state representative RIGHT NOW and urge them to support HB 4707. Your advocacy is essential in securing their “yes” vote and making sure this bill becomes law and improves access to mental health and substance use care across Michigan.
