Biden Administration Advocates for Mental Health Coverage Parity
Biden Administration's Commitment to Mental Health
The Biden Administration has taken significant steps to reinforce mental health coverage through the issuance of final rules that enhance integration between mental and physical health. This initiative focuses on ensuring that mental health services are accessible, reducing out-of-pocket costs for individuals seeking assistance.
Removing Barriers to Access
One of the critical goals is to dismantle existing barriers to access that many face when trying to obtain mental health care. By advocating for coverage parity, the administration emphasizes the importance of treating mental health with the same urgency as physical health.
- Final rules promote equal coverage.
- Greater focus on out-of-pocket costs.
- Encouraging wider access to substance use disorder care.
