Removes the June 30, 2025 expiration date on the requirement that health plan companies must credential and contract with mental health service providers who meet credentialing standards, making this requirement permanent

Health plan companies may waive credentialing requirements not directly related to quality of care to improve patient access to providers from underserved communities or rural areas

Prohibits health plan companies from refusing to credential mental health providers based on claims that their network already has a sufficient number of that provider type or sufficient mental health providers overall

Requires contracts with credentialed providers to include payment rates that are usual and customary for the services provided

Effective retroactively from June 30, 2025, ensuring no gap in coverage from the original provision's expiration
