Expands mental health and substance use care options for millions of Americans through community clinics.
This bill would make it easier for people to get mental health and substance use care by expanding how certain community clinics are paid through Medicaid and Medicare. It would also authorize funding for grants to help these clinics grow and offer more services. Additionally, it would protect clinicians at these clinics from certain lawsuits.
Today, Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) provide mental health and substance use services, but their funding under Medicaid can vary by state, and their services are not typically covered by Medicare. Clinicians at these clinics may not have federal liability protection. After this bill, CCBHCs would have a standardized, cost-based payment system under Medicaid and their services would be covered by Medicare, with the Part B deductible waived. Additionally, clinicians at these clinics would be protected by federal liability laws, and new federal grants would help clinics grow and improve.
