APF Direct Action Program
Mental Health Parity Index
The Mental Health Parity Index
APF is proud to have partnered on the launch of the Mental Health Parity Index as a Direct Action Partnership Initiative. The Mental Health Parity Index raises the potential of widespread issues for patient access and clinician pay, which can mean longer wait times, higher out-of-pocket costs, and increased reliance on out-of-network care for individuals seeking treatment. The Index was launched by The Kennedy Forum in collaboration with Third Horizon, the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Psychological Foundation, and Ballmer Group.
The Index aligns with what many families experience on a regular basis. The release of the national Mental Health Parity Index makes accessible data that may help explain why commercially insured Americans face widespread access gaps to mental health and substance use care relative to physical health services.
