URAC Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder (MHSUD) parity accreditation

URAC’s Compliance Guide, ParityManager software solution and Mental Health Parity Accreditation serve as a roadmap for improved compliance with federal and state parity regulations. URAC offers the nation’s only accreditation program for mental health parity.

Enforcement Is Ongoing

The 2022 Mental Health Parity Report to Congress found payers reviewed satisfied the requirements of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.

Enforcement of the MHPAEA can leave payers responsible for millions of dollars of fines for violating state and federal laws that require equal levels of coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment and medical/surgical treatment.
