I.O.U. Means Insurance Owes You: Paying for Mental Health & Addiction Care
Description: Cost of care is one of the myriad barriers to mental health and addiction services. High treatment costs can lead people to forego treatment that they need. The Mental Health Parity & Addiction Equity Act (known as the Federal parity law) requires health insurers that cover mental health and addiction benefits to do so equally with other medical and surgical benefits.

Many NYS providers and consumers don't know what their rights are in ensuring insurance pays for these services. This 90 minute online training will offer a brief overview of the Federal parity law's protections for consumers and providers, provide examples of how to leverage these protections through insurance appeals, and articulate the ways in which patients, providers, and advocates can enforce their NYS and Federal rights to insurance coverage.
