Federal and state regulations for mental health parity are under increasing scrutiny. Government officials at all levels are taking a closer look at coverage for mental health and substance use disorders to ensure that payers are covering treatment for these conditions at rates comparable to those for medical-surgical care.
In this previously recorded webinar, URAC joined Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota for a discussion on how they used URAC’s Mental Health Parity Accreditation to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. The presenters shared how accreditation delivers consistency and credibility in behavioral health coverage and how URAC’s ParityManager® tool helped the plan streamline the accreditation process and allowed them to ensure mental health parity compliance.
With parity enforcement on the rise, now is the time to learn about the importance of mental health parity and see the URAC solutions that can help your organization maintain compliance.
