Oregon’s Department of Consumer and Business Services has adopted administrative rules to implement the mental health parity bill passed by the 2005 Oregon Legislature. The rules were filed with the Secretary of State’s Office on July 14, 2006. The law, which is effective Jan. 1, 2007, requires group health insurance policies to cover treatment of chemical dependency and mental or nervous conditions at the same level as other medical conditions.
