Navigating the New Mental Health Parity Rule: Key Insights for Employers

Webinar

Join us for an essential webinar unpacking the newly finalized regulations amending the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA). The final rule implements complex compliance requirements for health plan sponsors and issuers, requiring them to collect and review plan data, conduct detailed comparative analyses, and address inequities in access to mental health and substance use disorder (MH/SUD) benefits compared to medical and surgical (M/S) benefits.

Our expert speakers will explain the new requirements and outline practical steps employers can take toward compliance.

Discussion topics include:

• A detailed look at the revised non-quantitative treatment limitation (NQTL) standard, which prohibits stricter limitations on MH/SUD benefits compared to M/S benefits
• The new plan fiduciary certification requirement
• The new meaningful benefits requirement
• Important deadlines for compliance with the new rules
• Practical steps employers can take toward compliance
