About the Program
Join us for an informative webinar discussing the newly released Final Rules under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), which are set to impact group health plans in significant ways. While these Final Rules were highly anticipated by stakeholders, they leave many employers questioning their future approach to mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) benefits.
In this webinar, Diane Dygert and Ben Conley will break down the key changes to MHPAEA regulations, including the impact on the nonquantitative treatment limitations (NQTL) analysis, meaningful benefits requirement, and fiduciary certification. They will also cover compliance requirements, and provide practical steps employers can take to prepare for the 2025 and 2026 effective dates.
As highlighted in our recent Legal Update, the Final Rules introduce significant changes that employers must navigate to maintain compliance. This webinar will provide further insights and actionable strategies based on the latest regulatory developments.
Key Topics Include:
- New input and output requirements for nonquantitative treatment limitations (NQTLs)
- Design & Application
- Relevant Data Evaluation
- Compliance requirements for plans, including fiduciary certifications
- Practical strategies for navigating these regulatory changes and mitigating compliance risks
Who Should Attend:
- HR Professionals

- Plan Sponsors and Fiduciaries
- Legal Counsel
