TDI seeks information on best practices for mental health parity compliance

The Texas Department of Insurance seeks information on best practices for parity compliance, enforcement, and oversight.

House Bill 10, enacted by the 85th Texas Legislature, requires issuers to have health insurance coverage and benefits for mental health and substance use disorder treatment be in parity with coverage and benefits for medical and surgical care. TDI is developing rules to implement and enforce parity requirements.

See the TDI website for the request for information and instructions on how to submit comments. Written comments are due at 5 p.m., central time February 12.
