Bill Moving That Would Benefit NYS Council members
& the individuals they serve

September 20, 2022

We wanted to let you know that tomorrow (9/21), the House Ways & Means Committee (in Washington) will mark up legislation to allow “coverage of marriage and family therapist services and mental health counselor services under Part B of the Medicare program.”  This legislation has been a high priority of the National Council as well as the NYS Council, where it is at the top of our federal priorities list.   We will continue to focus closely on this bill as it moves through the legislative process on the Hill. For the specific legislative language, use this link:  https://waysandmeans.house.gov/sites/democrats.waysandmeans.house.gov/files/documents/WM-CPT-AINS_02_xml.pdf.
