Join Free 8/18 Mental Health Parity Regulatory Update Call Sponsored By ABA RPTE Employee Benefits Committee


The American Bar Association Real Property Probate and Trust Section Employee Benefits Committee invites you to catch up on a briefing on newly proposed rules and other guidance on the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (‘MHPAEA”) by participating in its free monthly membership call on Friday, August 18, 2023 at Noon Central Time conducted by SLP author and publisher employee benefits attorney Cynthia Marcotte Stamer, along with fellow employee benefit attorneys Jacquelyn Meng Abbott and Allison Moody.

With their 2023 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act’s Comparative Analysis Report to Congress (“Report”) and an accompanying Enforcement Fact Sheet (“Fact Sheet”) confirming their continued prioritization of MHPAEA, the Department of Labor Employee Benefit Security Administration (“EBSA”), the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and the Department of Treasury (collectively the “Tri-Agencies) also signaled plans to further tighten MHPAEA’s requirements by releasing a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Proposed Rule”) and a Technical Release (“Technical Release”) seeking input on MHPAEA. During the meeting, employee benefit attorneys Committee Co-Chair, Cynthia Marcotte Stamer, and Committee Vice Chairs Jacquelyn Meng Abbott, and Allison Moody will lead a discussion of the new guidance package including:

  • The Report, Fact Sheet and selected MHPAEA litigation enforcement developments
  • The recently Proposed Regulations and Technical Release;
  • Other MHPAEA compliance developments and tips; and 
  • Possible areas of concern on which the RPTE Employee Benefits Committee or others might want to submit in response to the Tri-Agencies.
