Funding for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Enforcement

Key points
States will receive grants to review how insurance companies apply equal treatment rules for mental health and substance use disorder benefits.
Insurers will be required to provide detailed explanations for limitations on mental health and substance use disorder treatments.
25 million dollars per year for five years is authorized to support these state-level efforts.
