Why Insurance Still Doesn't Guarantee Mental Health Care
Original: Why Having Insurance Still Doesn’t Guarantee Mental Health Care
A new report examines a persistent gap in the American health system: even people with insurance coverage often cannot access mental health care. Despite parity laws meant to require equal treatment of mental and physical health, insurers frequently limit therapist networks, deny claims, or reimburse providers so poorly that few accept coverage, leaving patients to pay out of pocket or go without care.
Why now: Ongoing concerns about access to mental health treatment and insurer practices are keeping the issue in public debate.
