Mental Health Parity SB 375

Email To A Friend
Legislation that requires insurers to provide equal coverage for physical and mental health care. This bill is different than legislation introduced in recent sessions in that it does not increase coverage requirements for mental health and substance abuse treatment; it simply calls for equality in coverage.
Authors: Senator Hansen & Representative Albers

Status: Heard by Senate Health Committee 1/17/08
