Issue Briefs: Mental Health Parity 1999
Ardis Hanson  Six issue briefs summarize the key issues facing the state of Florida in 1999 in the development of mental health parity legislation. The briefs outline the basic issues, potential benefits, and experiences of other states that have developed and/or implemented parity legislation covering behavioral health services, including mental health, alcohol, and/or substance abuse services. In addition, the briefs contain a discussion of the important issues of how managed care and insurance benefit design potentially impact the costs of establishing parity.
The six briefs are provided as one pdf document. The document is 6 pages long. Pages include: "Highlights of Recent Benefit/Cost Analysis and Actuarial Studies on Parity", "A Short Legislative History of Parity Act in Florida", "The Impact of Parity Legislation in Florida", "Health Benefits and Mandates", "An Overview of Parity Legislation", and "Current Legislative Session Bills on Parity".
