Biden Administration Enhances Access to Mental Health Care for Privately Insured Americans
Mental Health Care Access Expansion
Beginning Jan. 1, Americans with private insurance will find it easier to access mental health and substance abuse care due to new federal rules announced recently. In a statement, U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su emphasized the importance of mental health care as vital to the well-being of American workers. The new regulations aim to eliminate excess out-of-pocket costs and ensure that mental health coverage is treated equally to physical health care. However, some of these changes will not take effect until 2026, meaning continued advocacy is necessary.
