Summary

This bill amends the Social Security Act to improve Medicare beneficiaries' access to mental health services. It makes two main changes: including clinical social worker services in the skilled nursing facility prospective payment system, and expanding the definition of clinical social worker services under Medicare.

Sec. 2, Improved access to mental health services under the Medicare program: This section has three parts. Part (a) adds clinical social worker services to the list of services excluded from the skilled nursing facility prospective payment system, meaning these services will be paid separately. Part (b) expands the definition of clinical social worker services to include health and behavior assessment and intervention services identified by specific HCPCS codes as of January 1, 2023, while still excluding services furnished to hospital inpatients. Part (c) states that these changes apply to items and services furnished on or after January 1, 2026.
