Overview of MHPAEA Financial Requirements: Key Terms Financial Requirements: Type – deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket maximums Level – the dollar amount or number of visits/sessions Treatment limitations – limits on benefits based on scope or duration of treatment (e.g., frequency, number of visits, days of coverage) Quantitative (QTL) – determine whether or to what extent benefits are provided based on accumulated amounts, such as annual or lifetime day or visit limits. Expressed numerically Nonquantitative (NQTL) – limit the scope or duration of benefits for treatment under a plan or coverage (e.g., prior authorization, formulary design, network) Please use these for slides that will use headers and/or sub headers.
