White House requires insurers pay for mental health the same as physical health
Health insurers will be required to cover mental health care and addiction services the same as any other condition, the Biden administration has announced.
The move is part of the administration’s ongoing battle with health insurers.
Officials say they are skirting a 2008 law requiring plans that cover mental health and substance use care benefits at the same level as physical health care benefits.
The health insurance industry is likely to challenge the rule, arguing the administration did not have the authority to issue it to begin with.
