Disclaimer

While the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 has been enacted, the regulations that guide how it is administered are not yet available. Secretaries of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury are required to issue regulations by October of this year.

Compliance with the federal parity law is the responsibility of self funded plan sponsors and Aetna cannot provide legal advice in this regard. Plan sponsors should seek their own separate counsel for legal guidance on application of the federal parity requirements.

Any questions about Aetna's approach to Mental Health Parity may be referred to your Aetna sales or account representative.
