Every year since I've been in school there has been a bill to try and change it. And every year it has died in committee. Over the time I've been working, I've had to discharge or transfer so many clients in the middle of their treatment with me when their insurance changed to Medicare.

There's now another chance to change this. Please use this link to contact your representatives, and encourage them to pass HR 432/S 828. In a time of growing mental health need, this is an easy way to add thousands of providers to the Medicare network and improve services for our most vulnerable.

The Mental Health Access Improvement Act (S. 828/H.R. 432) would close the gap in federal law that prevents mental health counselors from being recognized as Medicare providers. This legislation would give Medicare beneficiaries access to more than...
