SAMHSA Launches new Website for Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act

SAMHSA has just launched a new Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act webpage that provides information on the impact of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 for States, providers, consumers and families. The new page is located at http://samhsa.gov/healthreform/parity.

This site is a great source of information on the Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act. It includes information on who the law applies to and how it is enforced, what consumers and advocates should do if they believe someone is violating this new law, and connections to resources on mental health parity.
