  • Title: Mental health parity.
    Author: Berman LE.
    Journal: Manag Care Interface; 2000 Jul; 13(7):63-6. PubMed ID: 11183933.
    Abstract:
    The subject of mental health parity has been a hotly debated issue over the years. Mental health advocates and professionals consider their area a victim of discrimination in that insurance carriers and legislators have provided greater benefits for physical illness, while reducing or even excluding mental health benefits from health insurance and HMO policies. This article explores the background of the mental health parity movement and how various states and the federal government have acted to end this discrimination.
