Webinar (5/16): MHPAEA at a Crossroads: Implications of ERIC v. HHS for Federal Policy and Health Plan Compliance

A lawsuit filed by the ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC) to challenge the 2024 regulations for the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) asserts that key provisions of the parity rule are contrary to the MHPAEA statute and violate the Administrative Procedure Act.

Set against a major push for deregulation by the Trump administration and reduced deference to agency interpretations of statutory language under the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Loper Bright holding, many industry observers are questioning how the U.S. Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Treasury (collectively, the “Tri-Departments”) will respond to the ERIC complaint. That response, due May 12, is likely to provide significant insights into the MHPAEA policy and priorities of the Trump administration.

Please join us for this webinar to discuss:

• an overview of the ERIC lawsuit and key takeaways from the Tri-Departments’ response;
• key MHPAEA compliance challenges for provider networks and reimbursement;
• strategies for implementing value-based purchasing arrangements under MHPAEA; and
• updating the 2025 outlook for compliance, enforcement, policy development, and stakeholder engagement.
