    • Abstract:
      The article discusses a court case related to the U.S. Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). The American Psychiatric Association, the Connecticut Psychiatric, and the Connecticut Council for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry accused Anthem Health Plans of violating the parity laws and restricting mental health patients' access to healthcare. A U.S. District Court has been asked to enforce MHPAEA and state laws protecting mental health patients against benefit discrimination.
