Overview
As mental health parity laws continue to evolve, health insurance plans and medical providers contend with compliance and regulatory issues on a daily basis. Specifically, these laws impose new obligations on insurers, administrators, and group health care plans to prevent discrimination against consumers regarding their health insurance benefits.
While the mental health parity laws apply to nearly every insurance market nationwide, they reflect a sweeping new approach to the regulations associated with managed care.
Health care plan sponsors often face considerable challenges when ensuring compliance with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. At Epstein Becker Green, we work with health insurance carriers and clients in the managed care industry to develop and implement compliance procedures amid the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
