The National Council has created a section on their blog focused parity. This includes basic information about the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equality Act, what it means for you as a healthcare provider, and what to do when your claim is denied which violates the Parity Act.
Can you answer the following questions:
Has your insurance plan denied coverage of addictions treatment services?
Are your clients unable to access psychiatric medications because of restrictive insurance policies?
Do you know whether these denials constitute a violation of the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act?
Try taking National Council's quiz to see how you do with the Parity Quiz. You may be surprised.
