On demand | What to know about the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
Thank you for your interest in our event. Unfortunately, this webinar has passed. If you would like to watch a recording of the session, please fill out the form below.
In September 2024, federal agencies published their final regulations applicable to non-quantitative treatment limitations (NQTLs) under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. At a high level, these are limitations affecting mental health and/or substance use disorder benefits that are not financial or visit limits (e.g., prior authorization requirements and medically necessary standards).
The regulations have two phase-in effective dates for employer-provided group health coverage:
Rules applicable to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2025; and
Additional rules applicable to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
This webinar will address:
The rules taking effect for the 2025 and 2026 plan years, including changes to the parity standards for NQTLs and the dreaded NQTL comparative analysis requirement;
Who bears the responsibility for fully insured and self-insured coverage and expected plan administration changes and/or recommendations for the 2025 and 2026 plan years; and
Expected future guidance.
This webinar is intended for HR professionals and anyone involved in managing group health plans and is most significant for employers sponsoring self-insured medical/Rx plans.
We hope to see you there.
