Group health plan sponsors have an opportunity to reexamine their current behavioral health coverage as they consider compliance with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA). Now is the time to conduct a thorough and thoughtful plan review and begin to craft strategies for better management of mental health and addiction conditions. These strategies can help keep cost increases under control while maintaining and even enhancing critical benefits. This session will examine

  • The need for and importance of treating behavioral health disorders
  • Covering estimated costs increases
  • Discuss compliance with the MHPAEA
  • Provide options for behavioral health plan management.
