Datapoint: Georgia Passes Mental Health Parity Law
April 7
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) on April 4 signed into law a bill that requires health insurers to cover mental health and substance abuse care as if it were traditional medical care. The new law will go into effect in July. More than 10 million people have full medical coverage in Georgia, with Anthem, Inc. (3,183,977 lives), Centene Corp. (1,406,039 lives) and UnitedHealthcare (917,764 lives) serving as the three largest insurers.
