“Pressures from the public in the wake of the Newtown tragedy will be one of the triggers [that will make behavioral health a big issue for insurers in 2013]. Other triggers include the federal behavioral health parity legislation enacted in 2008 and the ACA’s essential health benefit definitions that will be implemented under state benchmark plans. All three of these factors will necessitate that insurers build more diverse and deeper behavioral health provider networks that can address prevention, screening and treatment capacity.”
— Bill TenHoor, president of the consulting firm of TenHoor & Associates, told AIS’s Health Plan Week.
