Mental Health Parity Act Per the Mental Health Parity Act, benefits for mental health & substance-use disorder must be treated like benefits for regular medical & surgical care. For example, if there is no limitation on the number of days for inpatient & number of visits for outpatient medical care, then there can be no limitation for mental health & substance-use disorder treatments. As always, treatments must be medically necessary to qualify for coverage. Plan participants should review their plan’s certificate of coverage or benefit document for specific information about coverage, limitations & exclusions for mental health care & substance-use disorder treatments.
