Health plans are no longer being asked if they support parity. They are required to demonstrate compliance with evidence.
States are starting to step up enforcement of MHPAEA act, with California, Colorado, New York, Rhode Island and Oregon working on their own State compliance laws.
Regulators are now asking health plans to demonstrate both, with data, documentation and accountability. URAC accreditation can help with the nation’s only accreditation program for mental health parity.
URAC’s ParityManager software solution and Mental Health Parity Accreditation serve as a roadmap for improved compliance with federal and state parity regulations.
