Improving Access to Mental Health Services Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Improving Access to Mental Health Services Act, amends the Public Health Service Act to allow members of the National Health Service Corps to provide obligated service as behavioral and mental health professionals at schools, other community-based settings, or in patients' homes located in health professional shortage areas. The bill allows this service to count towards the Corps members' obligated service requirements, and it removes any maximum limitation on the number of hours of such service that can be counted. This is intended to improve access to behavioral and mental health services, particularly in underserved communities.
