I am not familiar with the details of the federal parity bills that were proposed, but parity is essentially the idea that mental health care be covered at the same levels and rates as other health care, and have the same coverage caps. So, for example, if your insurance covers doctor's visits at 80%, they should do the same for psychiatric visits.
