Approximately 35% of health care dollars are spent on the chronically ill, who generally have multiple co-morbidities including depression. These conditions increase employer costs through higher insurance premiums and employee absenteesism. With mental health parity, more employees will have access to the care they need - but will the traditional silo approach help them get well?
