Summary:Provides background on P.L. 110-343, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) of 2008, which expanded previous Federal requirements for behavioral health coverage. Clarifies plans that MHPAEA applies to and those exempt from it, and analyzes issues related to role of behavioral health parity in health care reform. Highlights provisions in H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act and in S.Amdt. 2786 in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, to reform MHPAEA and improve quality of and access to physical and behavioral health care.
