Insurance coverage for mental and behavioral health care is required to be equivalent to the coverage for physical health care. Every day, across the country, people are denied health care coverage for mental and behavioral health issues like depression – often with no explanation at all.
That means that treatment for eating disorders, substance abuse, and learning disabilities are unaffordable for the people that need it most.
We’re working to require health insurers to disclose when they’re denying coverage and why. This transparency will hold insurers accountable – and help consumers get the care they need.

To the U.S. Congress:
Americans have the right to equal health care coverage for physical, mental, and behavioral. Health insurers are violating this rule, and they need to be held accountable. Require health insurers to disclose when and why they’re denying claims – and provide patients the care they need.
