Mental health care or benefits, in accordance with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, are items or services for mental health or substance use disorder conditions, as determined solely within the discretion of the plan administrator, consistent with generally recognized independent standards of current medical practice. Conditions affecting physical health that are related to a mental health condition or substance use disorder are medical/surgical benefits rather than mental health care benefits under the Medical Plan. However, for those individuals with a mental health diagnosis, associated medical treatments subject to visit limits (such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy and home health care services) will not be subject to an annual visit limitation.
