Weber: Equality Standards for Health Insurance Coverage ARTICLE EQUALITY STANDARDS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE: WILL THE MENTAL HEALTH PARITY AND ADDICTION EQUITY ACT END THE DISCRIMINATION? ELLEN WEBER Congress enacted the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in 2008 to end discriminatory health insurance coverage for persons with mental health and substance use disorders in large employer health plans. Adopting a comprehensive regulatory approach akin to that of other civil rights laws, the Parity Act requires “equity” in all plan features, including cost-sharing, durational limits and, most critically, the plan management practices that are used to deny many families medically necessary behavioral health care. Beginning in 2014, all health plans regulated by the Affordable Care Act must also comply with parity standards, effectively ending the second-class insurance status of persons with these disorders.
