COLUMBUS, Ohio - Some Ohio families harassed with mental illness are discovering that health insurance do not pay nearly as much to cover their bills as it will for physical ailments.
In Ohio, insurance companies regularly cover no more than 20 mental health visits and 10 hospital days a year for hundreds of thousands of families. The maximum coverage for universal health is typically $1 million over a lifetime, compared to $10,000 for mental health.
About 500,000 Ohio residents are exaggerated by mental illnesses every year, said Laura Moskow Sigal, executive director of the Mental Health Association of Franklin County.
