____. Review of Mental Disorders. It is the intent of the Legislature that, out of funds appropriated above, the department shall conduct a review of health benefit plan insurers to determine, since fiscal year 2002, the number, type, and geographic location of claims for the treatment of a mental disorder as listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, of a child younger than 18 years of age. The department shall prepare a report for the 83rd Legislature detailing their findings. The department may not include in its report any data that could reasonably be used to identify a specific enrollee in a health benefit plan or that in any way violates confidentiality requirements of state or federal law applicable to an enrollee in a health benefit plan.
