Bill > HR9328

This bill establishes a demonstration program under Medicare to promote collaborative treatment of mental and physical health comorbidities. The program will identify and disseminate innovative, evidence-based best practices and models that improve care and outcomes for individuals with mental and physical health comorbidities, particularly those in vulnerable communities. The bill defines eligible hospitals, applicable individuals, and key terms like "innovations addressing mental and physical health comorbidities" and "innovations addressing social determinants of health." The program will run from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2028, and the Secretary will submit a report to Congress evaluating the activities and their impact on access, quality, outcomes, disparities, and costs.
