A group health benefit plan that provides coverage for treatment of mental or emotional illness or disorder for a covered individual when the individual is confined in a hospital must also provide coverage for treatment in a residential treatment center for children and adolescents or a crisis stabilization unit that is at least as favorable as the coverage the plan provides for treatment of mental or emotional illness or disorder in a hospital.
