Behavioural health disorders (including both mental disorders and
substance use disorders) affect a large number of people and
contribute costs to the health care system, even as indicated
treatment is often not received by individuals in need. In the
United States, an estimated 26% of non-institutionalised adults
experience behavioural health disorders in a given year; over the
course of a lifetime, the estimate rises to 46%. This book provides
an overview of sections in the health reform law that are expected
to affect the financing and delivery of behavioural health care
services. Access to health care services is determined by multiple
factors, including financing arrangements and covered benefits. The
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) may increase
access to behavioural health services by increasing the
availability and affordability of financing arrangements; the law
also contains sections that will affect both the coverage of
behavioural health services, as well as the conditions under which
those services are covered.
