Federal Mental Health Parity:  Complying with the Newly Released Regulations

On January 29, the federal government released new regulations mandated by the Federal Mental Health Parity Act of 2008. These rules are scheduled to take effect for benefit plans that renew on or after July 1, 2010.

Does your organization have a clear understanding of these regulations and how they may impact your benefit plans? Are you up-to-date on the issues addressed in the regulations? Are you ready to comply? Now is the time to find out.

Please join us as we examine and clarify the details in these new regulations. Our legal and clinical experts will make clear the most critical aspects of these new rules, including:

  • Cost-sharing mechanisms
  • Establishing co-pays, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums
  • Managing pre-authorization requirements
  • The role of Employee Assistance Programs
  • Addressing state-mandated benefits, such as for autism
  • Other key hot-button issues

You will also learn how OptumHealth can help you evaluate your risks and determine the best strategies for moving forward.

We are looking forward to your participation.
