Thank You to GCTV for producing this interview about the Big Sleep Out 2019!"House Bill 7125 bolsters the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (The Federal Parity Law) by ensuring that insurance companies are meeting state mental health and substance use requirements. It would also require that insurance companies cover prescription drugs for substance abuse services, regardless of how that prescription is prescribed, without mandatory requirements for doctor’s approval for medication and step therapy. As the Wit ruling shows, without greater transparency and accountability from health plans and the Connecticut Insurance Department, parity may never be prioritized."
Diseases of the brain and body need to be treated equally in society and by insurance companies. Check out my op-ed with Patrick J. Kennedy on why we need to strengthen our mental health parity law this legislative session and ensure health care equality for those with mental illness and substance use disorders.
