Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide incentives for behavioral health integration.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the COMPLETE Care Act, aims to incentivize the integration of behavioral health services with primary care in the Medicare system. Specifically, the bill proposes to increase payment rates for certain behavioral health integration services from 2027 to 2029, with gradually decreasing bonus percentages: 175% in 2027, 150% in 2028, and 125% in 2029. These services are identified by specific Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes related to collaborative care and primary care behavioral health models. The bill also mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services develop technical assistance programs by January 1, 2026 to help primary care practices adopt behavioral health integration models, including the Collaborative Care Model and the Primary Care Behavioral Health model. To support this initiative, the bill allocates funding from fiscal years 2025 through 2029 and explicitly waives budget neutrality requirements, ensuring that the increased payments for these behavioral health integration services do not impact other Medicare payment calculations. The goal is to encourage more comprehensive, integrated healthcare that addresses both physical and mental health needs.
