Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity - Employers

TO COME:  We look forward to offering Employers increased and meaningful ways to incorporate considerations about the behavioral treatment components of insurance offerings as they choose coverage options for their Employees.  Behavioral health (for Employees and the family members they care for) plays a significant and so often "hidden" affect on Employees' presence and productivity.  As one small example, folks are willing to talk to Human Resources about getting help with insurance coverage for a broken leg, but maybe not so often are the same folks willing to speak to Human Resources about coverage issues for a behavioral health illness.  Yet, behavioral health issues for your Employees or their family members may be hitting your bottomline much more significantly than is being clearly identified or accurately quantified for your business.
