SB910 Requires Health Insurance Reimbursement for Graduate-Level Clinical Interns
Summary
Maryland Governor signed SB910 into law (Chapter 43), requiring health insurers to reimburse for services rendered by graduate-level counseling, social work, or psychology clinical interns under specified circumstances. The bill applies to insured individuals and other persons covered by health insurance policies, contracts, or certificates. The legislation passed unanimously in both chambers (44-0 Senate, 137-0 House).
What changed
SB910 establishes that health insurance policies, contracts, or certificates must provide reimbursement for services rendered by graduate-level counseling, social work, or psychology clinical interns under qualifying circumstances. The law was signed April 14, 2026, following unanimous passage in both chambers and committee review by Finance and Health committees.
Affected parties including health insurers, healthcare providers employing clinical interns, and graduate-level training programs must prepare for new reimbursement obligations. Insurers should update policy language and claims processing systems to accommodate intern-rendered services. Healthcare employers and educational institutions with clinical training agreements should review documentation requirements to ensure proper billing and reimbursement under the new law.
What to do next
- Health insurers review and update reimbursement policies for graduate-level clinical intern services
- Healthcare providers offering clinical internship programs verify compliance with new reimbursement requirements
- Educational institutions with graduate clinical programs confirm coverage arrangements with insurers
