ValuePenguin, a financial research and analysis website, surveyed 2,100 people online between Dec. 9 and Dec. 13.

The survey found the remaining 2 in 5 Americans reported being very satisfied with their current mental health coverage. 

Lowering copays, better coverage of virtual therapy and expanding in-network providers topped the list of what members said would improve their mental health coverage.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
