The Departments of Labor, Treasury and Health and Human Services have the responsibility to administer and enforce the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008. The Departments recently issued two sets of FAQs, describing the guidance issued under the Act and restating some of that guidance in an accessible Q & A format.

The FAQs do not contain any real surprises. However, they are a good summary of the agencies’ positions with respect to this law.
