parity compliance

Parity compliance refers to the principle of ensuring fairness and equity across different areas, particularly in healthcare and insurance. It means that mental health and substance use treatment should receive the same level of coverage, attention, and resources as physical health care. This concept aims to eliminate disparities, allowing individuals seeking mental health support to access care without facing higher costs or limitations than those seeking treatment for physical health issues. Essentially, it advocates for equal treatment of mental and physical health in all aspects of healthcare policy and practice.
