Plain-English summary
This bill specifies that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation may test models to: (1) help individuals learn about the availability of psychologist services under Medicare, and (2) explore the use of a behavioral health help-line that is available 24-7 to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department visits through treatment education.
The Government Accountability Office must report on the availability of behavioral health services under Medicare.
