Petition to make Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Matter in Florida
News , Advocacy , Parity Add commentsUrgent action is needed. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida recently terminated mental health and addiction service providers and is seeking new contracts at substantially reduced rates through its affiliate New Directions Behavioral Health. This could affect patient access to care.
We need to send a strong message to other insurers throughout the country, to Congress, and to the Administration that the termination of mental health and addiction service providers violated the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and should not be permitted in Florida or anywhere else in the country.
Whether or not you live in Florida, please sign this petition and send the link to everyone you know who wants to see parity in treatment for mental health and substance use patients http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mental-health-parity/.
Your participation is important to ensuring quality care for mental health and addiction recovery patients.
