# MHPAEA enforcement closes coverage gaps but not access gaps because payers differentially treat mental health versus medical reimbursement rates

**Source:** DOL EBSA Kaiser settlement, February 2026
The Kaiser settlement demonstrates that outcome-based enforcement (wait time reduction, network adequacy monitoring) is operationally feasible under current MHPAEA framework without requiring the 2024 Final Rule's paused outcome data evaluation provisions. The settlement requires Kaiser to: (1) reduce appointment wait times, (2) improve care review processes, and (3) monitor network adequacy. This represents 'level 1.5' enforcement—bridging process compliance (level 1) and reimbursement rate enforcement (level 2)—showing that access metrics CAN be required by enforcement on a case-by-case basis, even if not systematically mandated.
