Adjusting to changing times and changing Insurance Coverages.
In a new report by Lesley Alderman, "Patient Money/In Anxious Times, Medical Help for the Mind as Well as the Body" p. B5, col. 1 (New York Times Nat'l ed., "Business Day" Section, Saturday, November 7, 2009), these and other useful insights are offered:
- Group Health Insurance Plans offered through Employers may already provide a form of Mental Health Insurance Coverage to those who might need it. Check the Policy or Plan documents.
- The economy has made a lot of people anxious. Any person who seeks the benefits of Mental Health Insurance Coverage will not be alone and should not feel alone today.
- Effective January 1, 2010, the Federal Mental Health Parity Act will take effect. The new law will almost certainly change, and may well broaden, the Coverage available under many Group Health Insurance Plans that extend Mental Health Insurance Coverage.
