TOP NEWS: US Healthcare Reform Law Gives Big Boost to Addiction Treatment and Prevention
Montag 12. April 2010 von htm
The bill signed into law by President Obama on March 23 includes addiction and mental health services in its basic benefits package and is being broadly praised by treatment, prevention and recovery leaders.
According to an analysis from the Legal Action Center (LAC), the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (HR 3590) requires a basic benefit package for all health plans in the individual market and small-group markets. „All such plans will be required to cover mental health and substance use disorder services,“ according to LAC, which said the measure represents a „ground-breaking expansion of addiction and mental health coverage of prevention, treatment and recovery.“ (Source: Join Together, 4/9/10)
