In reply to Mental Health Parity Laws, posted by finelinebob on August 15, 2006, at 4:18:45
We have mental health parity of a sort in Texas. It says that *if* mental health coverage is available to an employee it is available on the same terms (co-pay, lifetime amount, etc) as regular coverage.
Unfortunately it doesn't apply to a lot of people. Anyone who works for a large employer (multi-state, self insured) is under federal rules, which don't require it.
The company I work for provides coverage, but it doesn't have the same yearly out-of-pocket limit as regular coverage.
Still, it's a whole heap better than nothing.
And it's wonderful to see you here.
