So important to recognize and address these and other barriers to care.
We can transform mental health outcomes in Oklahoma, but the data show a clear and persistent barrier to that goal: Disparities faced by privately-insured Oklahomans who must go out of network 55% more often for mental health office visits than for physical health visits, and a 22% disparity in pay for mental health providers. A new, sobering analysis reveals the extent of these issues here and nationwide.

Massachusetts has the best “state of mental health” in the nation, according to a new report released today by Mental Health America (MHA). The report, compiled annually by MHA, ranks Massachusetts first among states in its overall scoring based on 15 measures related to the prevalence of mental health and substance use conditions and access to treatment. This achievement is the result of deep commitment, targeted reforms, careful investments, and hard work from policymakers, payers, and providers in the service of state residents who live with mental health and substance use conditions. Despite scoring well on most measures, the report identified a number of system gaps. For example, the report found that 68,000 Massachusetts adults with a mental health condition are uninsured, and another 47,000 adults have health insurance that does not cover mental or emotional problems. Notably, Massachusetts ranked 36th for the percentage of youth with private insurance that does not cover mental or emotional problems, affecting more than 9% of youth with private insurance. These measures strongly suggest a need for more effective enforcement of insurance parity laws.

Throughout my career I have been trying to find ways to make access easier for mental health. It's been an uphill battle with a ways to go. This week, two new reports came out that highlight the significant access problems for mental health and ways to solve them through policy. Inseparable partnered with Milliman to examine state-level data that was sourced from surveys and claims datasets. This report delves into key dimensions of access: condition prevalence, treatment patterns, and provider availability. In addition, inseparable's own report offers concrete policy recommendations based on the Milliman findings, emphasizing crucial areas for intervention and improvement in mental health care accessibility. Both are worth a read. Both have the potential to make an impact on access. You can find out how your state does with policies that promote access, too. https://lnkd.in/gJT4BCCu #mentalhealth #healthpolicy
