Maryland Senate approves parity bill on mental health coverage
The Maryland Senate passed SB756 without debate by 45 to 2, sending the measure to the House. It resolves a court dispute over insurer coverage parity for mental illnesses, repeals a choice to drop mental health coverage, and paves the way for insurers to end their lawsuit once law takes effect. Randall Lutz of the Mental Health Association praised the compromise as a leading parity effort nationwide.
