Medical and behavioral (addiction and mental health) care are further apart now than they were two years ago, according to a study published by Milliman Inc. last week. The report, commissioned by the Bowman Family Foundation, shows that the gap for employees and their families between mental/addiction care and medical/surgical care is widening. The report, Addiction and Mental Health vs. Physical Health: Widening Disparities in Network Use and Provider Reimbursement , is based on actual claim data in 50 states for 37 million employees and their dependents.
