Mental Health Insurance Parity
The Society for Neuroscience supports full parity for mental health and substance abuse services in both private and public insurance coverage. Mental health treatments are more effective than ever, and equal coverage offers a just and affordable way to help all people lead more productive and rewarding lives.
Millions of Americans live with mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia or depression, and addictive disorders, such as alcoholism. SfN believes that these conditions should be treated like any medical condition, with health plans providing common treatments and medications, such as counseling and antidepressants.
