What does a parity violation look like?
​
Longer delays

"I can't get a mental health assessment appointment for 3 months, but I got an appointment for allergy testing in less than 1 week."

More disconnects 
"As an emergency physician,
I can send my patients
right to the specialty care they need – except to mental illness or substance use disorder care, because they don't exist."


Extra disruptions
"My doctor has to call my insurance company every 3 days just so I can stay in alcohol treatment. No one ever required my cardiologist to prove that I still needed cardiac rehab."
