Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA)
Informational webinar brought to you by DOL-EBSA & NAMI NJ
U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (DOL-EBSA) collaborates with NAMI NJ to organize a virtual webinar regarding the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). This webinar, available in three languages (English, Spanish and Chinese), is to share with our community members general information on the MHPAEA which provides important protections related to mental health and substance addiction benefits. This law generally requires that the financial requirements (copayments, deductibles, coinsurance or out-of-pocket maximums) and treatment limitations used by health plans be comparable for medical/surgical and mental health/substance addiction services.
Topics covered:
- Things to consider when submitting a mental health claim;
- What are your rights to information and to appeal;
- How EBSA’s enforcement efforts can help you get the benefits you deserve
