Help us report on insurance coverage for mental health care

The Dayton Daily News wants to learn about the experiences people have finding affordable mental health care covered by their insurance plan.

Federal law generally requires that health insurance plans have equal mental health and physical health coverage, yet patients are still much more likely to go out-of-network providers for mental health and substance abuse treatment than for other conditions.
