Financial relief: the effect of state mental health parity laws on families of children with mental health care needs
Find Brief.
2007 Aug.
Abstract
Families of children with mental health care needs who live in states with mental health parity laws have lower out-of-pocket spending and are more likely to view their spending as reasonable compared with those living in non parity states. This suggests that mental health parity laws provide important financial benefits to families of children with mental healthcare needs.
