Under a newly revised bill from the California state
legislature, California health plans will have to cover mental health
conditions to the same extent they do medical services in an effort to
achieve mental healthcare parity. The California Mental Health Parity Act —
passed in 1999 — already required health plans and disability insurers that
offer hospital, medical, or surgical coverage to also cover serious mental
illness diagnosis and treatment, including prescription drugs. |
