Check your Evidence of Insurance coverage, or call your health plan to see if chemical abuse troubles are covered. Drug abuse is not one of the conditions that have to be covered under the California Mental Health Parity legislation. Nevertheless, substance abuse or dependency problems are most likely covered if you are signed up in little group coverage for 100 or less staff members or if you purchased specific coverage for yourself or for your household. If you have coverage for substance abuse conditions, ask your medical professional to refer you for therapy or ask your health insurance if you can see a mental healthcare service provider without a referral. A federal legislation, the Mental Health Parity and Dependency Equity Act (MHPAEA), protects insurance coverage for individuals with mental health or substance use problems in a different way than the California Mental Health Parity regulation.
