SW Benefits Update – Ready or Not, Mental Health Parity Reporting Has Been Effective Since February 10, 2021
On April 2, 2021, the Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services departments (the “Departments”) issued ACA FAQs Part 45 (“FAQ 45”), which elaborates on the new reporting requirements implemented by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “CAA”) under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (“MHPAEA”). FAQ 45 reiterates that the new reporting requirements are enforceable now, so group health plan (“GHP”) sponsors subject to these rules should consider making compliance a priority.
