How Humana May Cover ADHD Treatment in Connecticut

Humana health plans operating in Connecticut are subject to Connecticut General Statutes § 38a-514b, the state’s mental health parity law, which requires fully-insured health plans to cover mental health conditions — including ADHD — at parity with medical and surgical benefits. This means Humana cannot typically apply more restrictive copays, more stringent prior authorization criteria, or lower visit limits for ADHD care than it applies to comparable physical health services on fully-insured plans.

Connecticut’s telehealth parity law may also require Humana to cover online ADHD treatment — including video-based evaluations and medication management — on the same terms as in-person care when clinically appropriate. Humana primarily operates in Connecticut through Medicare Advantage plans, with limited individual and employer-sponsored plan offerings compared to some other national insurers. Coverage for ADHD treatment varies significantly by plan type.

ERISA-governed self-funded employer plans using Humana’s administrative services are regulated under federal law, not Connecticut state insurance law, and are not subject to the state parity mandate. These plans are, however, generally required to comply with the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). Coverage for ADHD treatment varies by plan and benefit design.
