One question that may be on Oklahoman's minds after the tragic death of Labor Commissioner Mark Costello is whether health insurance covers mental health services. Insurance Commissioner John Doak is reassuring citizens that if you have a regular health insurance policy, you are eligible for mental health services. Doak went on to say that all insurance plans are required by law to cover mental health and substance abuse services. If you have questions about your insurance coverage, contact the OID at 800-522-0071.

Mark Costello was a strong proponent of mental health services and his family has requested donations in his name to the National Alliance of Mental Health in Oklahoma. More information can be found by visiting http://www.namioklahoma.org/
