The MACPAC brief found that assessing non-quantitative treatment limitations was one of the most challenging aspects of behavioral healthcare parity compliance.
Behavioral healthcare parity compliance has been complicated due to disparate strategies and data collection challenges, particularly around non-quantitative treatment limitations, a recent MACPAC brief uncovered.
The Mental Health Parity Act (MHPA) of 1996, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA), and the Affordable Care Act represented three major regulatory milestones in extending coverage for mental and behavioral health.
However, MACPAC researchers found that these laws—specifically MHPAEA—did not achieve the goal of broadening access to mental and behavioral healthcare.
