New DOL Guidance Reiterates Key Priorities for MHPAEA Enforcement
The US Department of Labor has issued new guidance reaffirming its enforcement priorities under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), the federal law requiring health plans to cover mental health and substance use benefits on par with medical and surgical care. The guidance signals continued focus on compliance, and law firms are advising employers and plan sponsors to review their parity practices.
Why now: Employers and benefits lawyers are tracking federal enforcement expectations for mental health parity compliance.
