Matthew W. Bergeron, Larkin Hoffman

Recent years have seen major expansions in behavioral health coverage in both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare has traditionally covered a very limited range of behavioral health clinicians’ services and substance use disorder (SUD) interventions, but has expanded its reach to cover more clinicians’ services and a wider range of SUD services. Medicaid is functioning as an engine of change in behavioral health policy, with the certified community behavioral health clinic (CCBHC) model, in particular, gaining national momentum. We will discuss:
  • A survey of promising developments and challenges in behavioral health coverage and payment in Medicare and Medicaid. We will discuss how these trends impact various provider sectors, and how medical providers and practices may partner with behavioral health providers in their communities to make these new or expanded services more widely available
  • The impact of budgetary issues on the expanded behavioral health services under Medicare and Medicaid, including the status of 1115 demonstration projects, and the potential impact of the community engagement requirements included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Pub. L. No. 119-21)
  • Services and payment methodologies covered will include Medicaid CCBHC services; Medicare intensive outpatient program (IOP) services; Medicare opioid treatment program (OTP) services; the expansion of Medicare Part B-covered behavioral health clinician services; school-based mental health services; and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder in Medicaid
