Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill amends Medicaid rules to ensure that states cover mental health services, substance use disorder services, and primary care services when patients receive them on the same day at the same facility. Currently, some state Medicaid programs have restrictions that prevent payment when these services are delivered together during one visit, which can discourage patients from getting comprehensive care. The legislation removes those barriers by requiring Medicaid plans to pay for these services regardless of whether they're provided simultaneously, including services delivered via telehealth. The bill applies to services furnished by doctors and practitioners at physician offices, federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, and other outpatient facilities. The measure affects Medicaid beneficiaries seeking integrated care and has no specific funding or implementation timeline specified in the text.
