class=432141322-13122004>Many of us have notieced, during this time of health
insurance open enrollment, that some of the health insurers are making changes
to the mental health and addiction treatment coverage they provide. For
example, some people who subscribe to the <SPAN class=043204021-13122004>Capital
District Physicians Health Plan (CDPHP) <SPAN class=432141322-13122004>have
noticed that they will be limited to </SPAN>a 60-day lifefime limit
on </SPAN><SPAN class=043204021-13122004>inpatient mental health coverage,
beginning next year. In addition, CDPHP will institute a 7-day per year
limit on inpatient chemical dependency treatment, with a $500 co-pay, next year
as well. </SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
