Row Note
| On July 31, 2009, Arkansas adopted provisions designed to bring its insurance laws into conformity with the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), as amended by the Federal Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 (MHPA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA). These provisions do not require mental illness or substance abuse disorder benefits coverage. However, if a plan provides coverage for mental illness or substance abuse disorder benefits, then these benefits must be equal to physical illness benefits in certain respects. Such provisions are not coded in APIS. |
