| Title: | Mental Health Parity Task Force: a sub-committee of the Governor's Mental Health Planning Council |
| Authors: | Kansas Mental Health Parity Task Force
Kansas. Governor's Mental Health Planning Council
Kansas. Governor (2003-2009 : Sebelius) |
| Issue Date: | Nov-2006 |
| Description: | "Mental health parity is valued because it is fair. It provides an opportunity to improve care. Parity
reduces the stigma of mental illness by treating it like any other illness. Stigma often keeps
people from seeking treatment. In addition, excessive limits on mental health benefits can create
major financial burdens for patients, their families, and providers. There is substantial evidence
that parity is affordable. Major corporations have demonstrated significant savings with less than
1% increase in health care premiums, when they provided parity in insurance coverage to their
employees." |
