In July, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury issued sweeping new guidance on the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (“MHPAEA”), including a Proposed Rule, a technical release proposing data requirements and an enforcement safe harbor, and the 2023 MHPAEA Comparative Analysis Report to Congress. These recent developments will have significant consequences for plan sponsors and the decisions they make with regard to the design and administration of their group health plans.
The next, in a series of Groom webinars, on this recent MHPAEA regulatory activity will focus on its potential impact on ERISA group health plans, and discuss what actions plan sponsors should be considering.
This program will cover:
- Key takeaways from the 2023 MHPAEA Report to Congress
- The potential impact of MHPAEA proposed rules, should they become effective in their current form
- The goal and purpose of the Technical Release on NQTLs related to network composition
