State Variations In The Out-Of-Pocket Spending Burden For Outpatient Mental Health Treatment
Health Affairs, 05/05/09

Zuvekas SH et al. - The authors find modest variation in out-of-pocket burden across states overall, but—because prescription medications account for two-thirds of out-of-pocket spending and are generally beyond the scope of recently enacted federal parity laws—evidence suggests that those laws will do little to reduce the observed burden or its variation. Other policy measures, designed to expand and improve health insurance coverage or reduce racial/ethnic disparities, could have a more profound impact.
