Abstract:
This column describes a recent $14.3 million settlement in a case brought against United Behavioral Health by the Department of Labor and New York State Attorney General Letitia James. United Behavioral Health agreed to stop 2 practices that were in violation of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. One of the practices involved systematic underpayment of nonphysician therapists and the other involved systematic use of targeted utilization review to end behavioral treatment after 20 sessions in a year.
