Consistency of Large Employer and Group Health Plan Benefits with Requirements of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation [ASPE], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] Link to more items from this source
[Guidance Overview]
Nov. 8, 2013

"Although we document substantial changes since the enactment of MHPAEA, a substantial minority of large employers and health plans still offer some benefits that appear to be inconsistent with MHPAEA and the IFR. Data from 2011 suggests that one out of five large employers required higher copays for in-network outpatient MH/SUD services than for equivalent medical/surgical treatments. Coinsurance rates were still higher for in-network outpatient MH/SUD services than for medical/surgical services in 4% of large employers' plans."
