  Be Smart with Mental Health Parity (MHPA)

Are you seeing increases in your medical/mental health insurance?
Are you looking for options to lower the impact of 'Mental Health Parity' costs? Do you want to ensure that you are 'Parity Compliant' and avoid legal complications?

Don’t just hope for the best. Be in a position where you have options. 

You are already spending an enormous amount on medical and mental health care. To top it off the government's Wellstone-Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAA) is lifting inpatient/outpatient session limits. This could amount to a huge increase in costs.  Blomquist Hale Consulting has Parity Smart Options that offer strategic value and lowered costs to our clients.

Did you know? That according to a Milliman Report and various industry leaders, costs related to 'Parity' could ultimately increase as much as 5%-10%.

It has been our great pleasure to work with and recommend Blomquist Hale employee assistance services to our clients over the past 13 years. In that period, as medical expenses have dramatically increased we have closely watched the effect their plans and people have had within our groups. In every case we have witnessed two separate and discernable benefits to the involved groups:

First, there has been a noticeable decrease in mental and nervous expenditures within the plan. This is most dramatic in the groups that have used prescribed enrollment and ongoing communication procedures. In every case the savings in mental and nervous expenses have far exceeded the cost for the EAP. In addition, the early intervention the EAP provides diminishes the likelihood of larger more costly mental and nervous hospital stays.

Second, there has been a noticeable attitude change among employees of participating companies. As they become aware of the EAP and its benefits, they have become more appreciative of all employer-sponsored benefits. We believe the EAP is a most effective tool in positively changing corporate culture.
We have evaluated numerous EAP's for our clients and say unequivocally this one is by far the most effective. We highly recommend it.
