It’s the 16th anniversary of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA)! Not on your calendar? That’s okay. The MHPAEA ensured that physical and mental health got the same level of coverage by most health plans. As a result, more people have gotten access to the mental health services and treatment they need. To learn about the latest updates to MHBAEA that might affect you, visit the link in bio.
