Remind me again how this

Mental health? Great. The teenage son of Southwick (the biggest con artist in Utah history) is having 'mental' health issues because he can no longer drive his BMW and buy whatever he wants since his daddy is in the clinger and they have to sell their multimillion dollar home in Ogden. But he's mentally ill!

Mental health parity, here we go.
This will be a boon to substance abuse treatment especially, as it is currently hard to find in an affordable fashion. |

That's my guess. Insurers don't like it at all.

Based on the pithy summations I have read, it's ok not to have MH coverage as long as you also have no non-MH coverage.
So if you don't cover hospitalization for illness or injury, it's ok not to cover it for mental health. But if you do cover it for non-mental reasons, you also have to cover it for mental reasons. |

Wonderful, less mental health and substance abuse coverage in the future. http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/disp...le/10168/49416 The rise of cash-only psychiatric practices will continue full-force. |
