On January 31, 2022, in partnership with the Alliance for Mental Health Care Access (AMHCA), Aimed Alliance released a new Know Your Rights brochure for patients living with depression. The brochure provides an overview of the different types of depression such as persistent depressive disorder, postpartum depression, psychotic depression, seasonal affective disorder, and bipolar depression. The brochure also provides examples of when an individual’s health plan may have subjected them to a benefit utilization policy such as step-therapy, non-medical switching, prior authorization, adverse tiering or copay accumulators. The brochure also provides information for patients on how to appeal a decision if their health plan has denied their claim. Aimed Alliance’s Know Your Rights Brochure for Patients with Depression, can be found here.
