Webinar | What to know about the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
In September 2024, federal agencies published their final regulations applicable to non-quantitative treatment limitations (NQTLs) under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. At a high level, these are limitations affecting mental health and/or substance use disorder benefits that are not financial or visit limits (e.g., prior authorization requirements and medically necessary standards).
The regulations have two phase-in effective dates for employer-provided group health coverage:
Rules applicable to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2025; and
Additional rules applicable to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
This webinar will address:
The rules taking effect for the 2025 and 2026 plan years, including changes to the parity standards for NQTLs and the dreaded NQTL comparative analysis requirement;
Who bears the responsibility for fully insured and self-insured coverage and expected plan administration changes and/or recommendations for the 2025 and 2026 plan years; and
Expected future guidance.
This webinar is intended for HR professionals and anyone involved in managing group health plans and is most significant for employers sponsoring self-insured medical/Rx plans.
We hope to see you there.
