Law Equalizes Coverage for Mental, Physical Care and Measure Could Expand Treatment Services
The Washington Post; subscription may be required 
Oct. 10, 2008
Excerpt: The new law bars companies from setting higher co-pays or deductibles for mental health and substance abuse treatment. Plans also will be prohibited from lowering benefit levels or restricting the number of outpatient therapy sessions or hospital treatment days. And if a health plan allows out-of-network visits for the treatment of physical illnesses, it will also have to offer identical out-of-network coverage for mental health care.
