Medicare would test new ways for hospitals to combine mental and physical health care.
This bill would create a new Medicare program to test better ways for hospitals to treat people with both mental and physical health conditions. It would also look at how social factors like housing or food access affect health. The goal is to find new methods to improve care for people on Medicare, Medicaid, or who are uninsured.
Today, there isn't a specific Medicare program dedicated to testing new, combined approaches for treating mental and physical health conditions alongside social factors. After this bill, a new demonstration program would allow eligible hospitals to test innovative care and payment models. This would be for people on Medicare, Medicaid, or who are uninsured, focusing on those with co-occurring mental and physical health issues. This program would run from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2030. A report to Congress on its findings would be due one year after completion.
