Tell Congress to vote in favor of the Tele-Mental Health Improvement Act and Permanency for Audio-Only Telehealth Act
The Federal government facilitated improved access to mental health care during the pandemic, especially tele-mental health care in Medicaid and Medicare. However, issues remain in accessing and covering these services for people who do not have access to broadband or smartphones.
Tell your legislators to support S.660/H.R. 2264, the Tele-Mental Health Improvement Act, a bill to require employer-sponsored health care plans to cover tele-behavioral health care services at the same pay rate as those services provided in-person, and the Permanency for Audio-Only Telehealth Act, which would permanently allow Medicare reimbursement of routine tele-mental health services via audio-only devices.
