ACHP Comments on Additional Guidance on the Implementation of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act

The Alliance of Community Health Plans (ACHP) has submitted a comment letter on the additional guidance on the implementation of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). ACHP and its member companies prioritize mental health parity and enhanced access to mental health services and support proposals to reinforce the intended objective of MHPAEA to guarantee that health plans provide access to mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) benefits without imposing greater restrictions than those applied to medical/surgical benefits.
