Plain-English Summary
The legislation would expand Medicare coverage for mental health and behavioral health services, making it easier for seniors and disabled Medicare beneficiaries to access psychological counseling, therapy, and related treatments. Currently, Medicare has limits on these services, so the bill aims to remove or reduce those restrictions so more people can get the mental health care they need. This would affect millions of older Americans and people with disabilities who rely on Medicare for their health insurance.
