This study examines the state of behavioral health benefits in employer-sponsored health plans in 1997.  The study finds that at least 75 percent of such plans placed greater restrictions on M/SU benefits than on general medical coverage. 

The study is available through the Health Affairs website: http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/reprint/18/2/67.pdf
