The Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Task Force wants to hear about your experience with mental health and substance use disorder treatment services. How have parity protections affected you? What are your suggestions for improving awareness of parity protections and monitoring health plans' compliance with parity?
The comment period is open until Wednesday, August 31, 2016.
President Obama created the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Task Force to ensure that Americans understand parity protections and receive the mental health and substance use disorder insurance coverage and treatment they need. After a long history of mental health and substance use disorders being treated differently by health plans—with more limited benefits—parity protections are meant to ensure fairness and that mental health and substance use disorder benefits are comparable to other medical benefits.
