Attention: MHPAEA Comments 

Dear Mr. Lebowitz, 

From 1980 to 1992, I was honored to represent the 103rd Legislative District 

which includes our state’s capital in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. 

In the early 1980’s, I took on and led the fight to require all group health plans 

and HMOs to provide treatment for alcohol and other drug addiction. 

My law was enacted in 1986 and re-authorized in 1989 with strong bi-partisan 

PUBLIC SUBMISSION

support. Since then, every year literally thousands of Pennsylvanians receive lifesaving treatment for this illness through the Pennsylvania law. 

This law and its treatment provisions are important to the 1 in 4 families in our 

state struggling to help an addicted love one. 

For this reason, I was alarmed by the initial debate over the Federal Parity law 

and was astounded to find that key consumer protections of Pennsylvania’s law 

were in danger of being pre-empted by the Federal legislation. 

This was deeply upsetting to me. I repeatedly contacted Pennsylvania’s 

delegation to Congress pleading for protection of Pennsylvania’s state drug and 

alcohol addiction treatment law and encouraged others to do the same. 

Much to my relief, after extensive Congressional debate on this issue, the 

parity legislation as finally enacted preserves more favorable state laws. 

I am writing to you now to alert you to the importance of this issue and to urge 

you to ensure that any regulations prepared do nothing to undermine Congress’ 

clear decision to preserve more favorable state laws. 

Sincerely, 

Peter C. Wambach

§ 219.7 Waivers. ( a ) A person subject to a requirement of this part may petition the FRA for a waiver of compliance with such requirement.
( b ) Each petition for waiver under this section must be filed in a manner and contain the information required by part 211 of this chapter. A petition for waiver of the part 40 prohibition against stand down of an employee before the Medical Review Officer has completed the verification must also comply with § 40.21 of this title.
( c ) If the FRA Administrator finds that waiver of compliance is in the public interest and is consistent with railroad safety, the Administrator may grant the waiver subject to any necessary conditions.
( d ) *Special dispensation for employees performing train or dispatching service on existing cross-border operations.* If a foreign railroad requests a waiver not later than August 10, 2004, for an existing cross-border operation, subparts E, F, and G of this part shall not apply to train or dispatching service on that operation in the United States performed by an employee of a foreign railroad whose primary reporting point is outside the United States, until the railroad's waiver request is acted upon by FRA.
( e ) *Waiver requests for employees performing train or dispatching service on new or expanded cross-border operations.* A foreign railroad seeking a waiver from subparts E, F, and G of this part for its employees performing train or dispatching service on a new cross-border operation that proceeds more than 10 route miles into the United States, or a formerly excepted cross-border operation that expands beyond the 10 mile limited haul exception in paragraph (d) of this section, must file a petition not later than 90 days before commencing the subject operation. FRA will attempt to decide on such petitions within 90 days. If no action is taken on the petition within 90 days, the petition remains pending for decision and the cross-border crew assignments on the operation covered by the petition will be subject to subparts E, F, and G until FRA grants the petition should the petitioner commence the proposed operation.

I am a Clinical Psychologist running a small outpatient mental health clinic in 

Asheville, N.C. 

I have been in the field over 30 years and have seen many changes, both in service 

delivery and health insurance utilization. 

 

Ten years ago I made a shift in my practice to offer EEG Biofeedback, also known as 

Neurofeedback. It has made a dramatic difference in the lives of my patients. 

Patients who once suffered from ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism and bipolar 

disorder are now reporting significant and lasting relief. They are accomplishing this 

without medication, in fact, many are reducing or eliminating their medications while 

in treatment. 

 

Unfortunately, this remarkable service is now only available to those who can pay 

cash for the service. Insurance typically denies coverage and often returns a 

comment to the health provider describing neurofeedback as "experimental" or "not 

well enough researched." 

 

I was in my first volunteer position at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute when, 

somewhere upstairs, Dr. Barry Sterman first discovered the clinical utility 

of neurofeedback, 30 YEARS AGO. Since then well over 500 research articles with 

better and better research controls have demonstrated how effective and how safe 

this service is for many emotional, neurological, behavioral and learning disorders. 

Indeed, the quality of research being generated now has brought the praise of 

clinicians all over the world (where it is now being accessed more easily than where 

it was invented, the U.S.). 

 

It is time we allowed significant advancements in mental health services (such as 

Neurofeedback) to be made available. No one aware of the resarch disputes it is 

effective, no one disputes it helps patients over a wide spectrum ( www.ISNR.org

and look at the Comprehensive Bibliography) of disorders. It even helps to lessen 

America's dependence on psychotropic medication. It seems that we have come to 

allow insurance companies to dictate when, or if, significant advancements should 

become available to the public?

These models are potentially very powerful in that they support a large amount of explicit parallel processing, and they cleanly integrate high level and low level information processing. However they are currently limited by a lack of understanding of how to apply them effectively in many application areas. The formulation of self-processing network methods for dynamic, reactive planning is studied. The long-term goal is to formulate robust, computationally effective information processing methods for the distributed control of semiautonomous exploration systems, e.g., the Mars Rover. The current research effort is focusing on hierarchical plan generation, execution and revision through local operations in an extended blocks world environment. This scenario involves many challenging features that would be encountered in a real planning and control environment: multiple simultaneous goals, parallel as well as sequential action execution, action sequencing determined not only by goals and their interactions but also by limited resources (e.g., three tasks, two acting agents), need to interpret unanticipated events and react appropriately through replanning, etc.Document ID19900017210Acquisition SourceLegacy CDMSDocument TypeContractor Report (CR)AuthorsDautrechy, C.

General Comment 

I am a clinical psychologist who provides EEG biofecdba~k treatment to 

individuals w iGl Attent ion Dciicit Hy peractivib Uj surder and Mood Disorders. 

EEG biufcdback is an empiri~ally validated and widely recognid efTcc;tive ncrn 

medication treatment for ADHD. as well as other conditions. 'I'hcrt: are over 50 

studies evahiating the effectibeness of EEG biofeedhnck in thc; trcabnent of 

ADH D, Substance Use disorders and Autism. . A recent review of this literature 

concluded "EEG biofeedback mccts the American Academy of Child md Adulescmt 

Psychiatry criteria for" Clinical Guidelines "for treatment nf AUHD." This 

means that PEG hiofdback meets the sarnc criteria as to medication for treating 

ADI ID, and that EEG biofeedback "should always he considerd as art inteicnlion 

for this disordcr by the clinician". 

This scrvice has been denid by Georgia Medicaid, Aetna, United Behavioral 

Health, Blue Cmss, Cigna, and Amerigmup. 

This is lini tation of an effective and validated treatment for a mental heal tli 

problem. The reasons given by the insurance companies for this denial fel l into 

two categories: 1 ) our company does ]lot cover biofeedback for Mental Healtl-r 

problems or 2) thcrc is not yet sufficient cvidmce for the efficacy uf EEG 

biofeedback. As such, they are using evidence-based criterra that arc far more 

restrictive for mental health services than the criteria which arc used for 

tncdical/surgical services. There are lnnny routinc; medical and swgi~al 

prucedures which have Far fewer controlled studies about their cfficacy than 
does EEG biofecdback. These tnedical and surgical procedures are generailq not 

limited heccause of co~~cerns about haw rliarly mncrolled studtcs have hem 

perfnnnud about them. 

We believe that the parity regulations, bascd on legal reviews af the parity 

statue should requirc that employers and plans pay fur the same range arid 

scope of senices for Behavioral Treatments a-i thcy do for Med Surg bcncfits ard 

that a plan cam01 be more restrictive in their ~nanaged care criteria and 

revicws for MH and SA disorders when coinpard to Mcd Surg. 'Today plans are being 

more restrictive in how they review evidenced based Mental Health and Substance 

Abuse Trcalments when compared to Mcd Surg trxarments. This viaIates both the 

intent and letter of the parity statute and we hope that the regulations will 

clarify that this can't cant-inue.
#### § 199.5 DOT procedures.

The anti-drug and alcohol programs required by this part must be conducted according to the requirements of this part and DOT Procedures. Terms and concepts used in this part have the same meaning as in DOT Procedures. Violations of DOT Procedures with respect to anti-drug and alcohol programs required by this part are violations of this part.

§ 239.1 Purpose and scope. ( a ) The purpose of this part is to reduce the magnitude and severity of casualties in railroad operations by ensuring that railroads involved in passenger train operations can effectively and efficiently manage passenger train emergencies.
( b ) This part prescribes minimum Federal safety standards for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of emergency preparedness plans by railroads connected with the operation of passenger trains, and requires each affected railroad to instruct its employees on the provisions of its plan. This part does not restrict railroads from adopting and enforcing additional or more stringent requirements not inconsistent with this part.
