Bill > S2847

This bill clarifies the coverage of occupational therapy services under the Medicare program by requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide education and outreach to stakeholders within one year of the bill's enactment. Specifically, the Secretary must inform stakeholders about how occupational therapy services can be used to treat substance use or mental health disorders under Medicare, using standard Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes. The bill aims to improve understanding and awareness of how occupational therapy can be applied to mental health treatment within the Medicare system, potentially expanding access to these services for patients with mental health and substance use disorders.
