The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) require employers, insurers and certain Medicaid plans who offer mental health and substance use disorder (MH/SUD) services to offer them at parity with medical benefits. While this law has been in effect for over a decade, there continues to be variation in implementation by market and jurisdiction.
URAC’s compliance guide, software tool and accreditation serve as a roadmap for improved compliance with federal parity regulations and provide independent third-party validation of parity compliance program practices and performance.
