The Biden administration has announced sweeping new rules meant to push insurance companies to boost their coverage of treatments for mental health problems and substance use disorders.

The proposed new rules were announced by the White House on July 25 and are expected to be published in the Federal Register within weeks, after which they will be subject to a 60-day public comment period before becoming law.
