Mental Health Parity: An Analysis of Ghost Networks' Impact on Care Access and Directory Transparency

About Us

This project examines Connecticut network adequacy policies and provider directories to determine how often listed providers are actually reachable and accepting new patients. Using those findings, we can assess whether insurance companies are offering timely, transparent, and accessible mental health care. This project identifies gaps in current enforcement and proposes policy recommendations to strengthen accountability and improve access to behavioral health services across Connecticut.
