TORONTO – The federal mental health parity law, combined with the new focus on value-based payment, will accelerate the revolution in mental health assessment and treatment in the United States and will reduce the financial risk physicians will be exposed to in their practices.
In this interview at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.) – who, while in Congress, sponsored* the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 – shared his thoughts on how mental health care is about to change.
