AMA summary of MHPAEA final rule

On September 9, 2024, the U.S. Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury released a final rule implementing the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). The 513-page rule includes numerous provisions strongly supported by the AMA and represents an opportunity for state legislatures and departments of insurance to strengthen their own parity laws.
