MENTAL HEALTH PARITY AND ADDICTION EQUITY ACT OF 2008

Our consultants provide analysis of self-insured group medical plans to test for MHPAEA compliance for both Non-Quantitative Treatment Limits (NQTL) and Quantitative Treatment Limits (QTL).

NQTL Testing Includes:

  • Coverage terms regarding benefit limits.
  • Factors used to determine when benefit limits apply.
  • Comparative analysis demonstrating that the application of coverage limits for mental health/substance abuse disorder benefits are comparable to – and no more stringent than – limits applied to medical/surgical benefits.

QTL Testing Includes:

  • Ensure that the financial requirements (copays, coinsurance, etc.) of self-insured group medical plans are no more restrictive than the predominant financial requirements of medical/surgical benefits.
  • Comparative analysis demonstrating compliance with MHPAEA.

In addition, we provide consulting services around any necessary remediation to get in compliance MHPAEA.
