Best Health Insurance Companies must deliver mental and physical health benefits equally

The new regulations for Best Health Insurance Companies, which still need to pass through a public comment period, would require Best Health Insurance Companies to study whether their clients have equal access to physical and mental health treatment benefits.

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act require that Best Health Insurance Companies provide the same amount of coverage for both physical and mental health care even though the Biden administration argues policies of the Best Health Insurance Companies restrict patient access.

There is no difference between having a mental breakdown and breaking your arms. The two are both health problems, said President Biden. Best Health Insurance Companies must fulfill the promise of mental health equality for all Americans.

Biden administration aims to address issues such as Best Health Insurance Companies permitting nutritional counseling for diabetes patients but has difficulty accepting patients with eating disorders. Best Health Insurance Companies compelled their clients to pay higher for needed help.

If Best Health Insurance Companies measure outcomes, it will force them to make modifications to come into compliance with the new rules.

President Biden undertook these new rules for Best Health Insurance Companies as a part of his unity agenda.
