The AMA has collected more than 450 educational and other resources to provide evidence-based recommendations for physicians and policymakers.
Use of this form by state regulators--and health insurers--can help ensure meaningful state oversight and compliance with the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. This guides health insurers through the necessary analysis to demonstrate compliance with the law, which can then be made available to a state department of insurance to streamline regulatory review.
