Occupational Therapy Mental Health Parity Act clarifies Medicare coverage for occupational therapy in mental health treatment.

The Occupational Therapy Mental Health Parity Act aims to clarify coverage of occupational therapy under the Medicare program. It mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to educate stakeholders about the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual regarding occupational therapy services for mental health and substance use disorder treatment. This education will focus on the use of Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes.
