OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer fined Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington $300,000 on Wednesday, Jan. 7 for violations of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, with $100,000 suspended.
“I’ve seen a trend among our state’s largest health insurers of mental health parity issues,” Kuderer said. “The market scans that started our work on these violations was an important step and I’m glad to see these issues corrected so Washingtonians have the access they deserve to these important services.”
