  6  8 neurobiological disorders and substance abuse.  For
  6  9 purposes of this section, "substance abuse" means a
  6 10 pattern of pathological use of alcohol or a drug that
  6 11 causes impairment in social or occupational
  6 12 functioning, or that produces physiological dependency
  6 13 evidenced by physical tolerance or by physical
  6 14 symptoms when the alcohol or drug is withdrawn.

  6 16    (1)  Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

  6 42 benefits for treatment for neurobiological disorders
  6 43 and underlying co-morbidity based on rates, terms, and

  6 47 the policy, contract, or plan.
  6 48    b.  Any restrictions or limitations with respect to

  7  3 co-morbidity and other health or medical conditions
  7  4 under a policy, contract, or plan.  A policy,
  7  5 contract, or plan subject to this section shall not
  7  6 impose an aggregate lifetime or annual limit on
  7  7 treatment for neurobiological disorders and underlying
  7  8 co-morbidity coverage benefits unless the policy,
  7  9 contract, or plan imposes an aggregate lifetime or
  7 10 annual limit on substantially all health or medical
  7 11 coverage benefits.  A policy, contract, or plan
  7 12 subject to this section that imposes an aggregate
  7 13 lifetime or annual limit on substantially all medical
  7 14 and surgical coverage benefits shall not impose an
  7 15 aggregate lifetime or annual limit on treatment for
  7 16 neurobiological disorders and underlying co-morbidity
  7 17 coverage benefits that is less than the aggregate
