S.2356

Expands psychological services for Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP beneficiaries by allowing reimbursement for supervised psychology trainees.

The ADAPT Act aims to expand psychological mental and behavioral health services for Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP beneficiaries. It allows reimbursement for psychological services provided by supervised psychology trainees. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue guidance to states on overcoming barriers to coverage of these services. It also mandates the development of a billing code to accurately bill for services provided by advanced psychology trainees. The changes apply to services furnished one year after the enactment of the Act.
