The Trump administration is not enforcing a Biden-era regulation aimed at improving access to mental health and substance use care for those with private insurance.
The administration may rescind the guidance altogether according to attorneys of the U.S. Department of Justice.
A legal battle between an employers group and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is ongoing over the rule finalized in September.
Payers and ERISA Industry Committee have criticized the rule for being too onerous without improving access to mental health support.
