Mental and Physical Health Care Comorbidities Act of 2025

HR 2590 establishes a 5-year Medicare demonstration program (2025-2030) testing integrated care models for hospitals serving vulnerable communities. It directly affects eligible hospitals (rural, safety net, or teaching hospitals with high patient need) and individuals with co-occurring mental and physical health conditions - including Medicare beneficiaries, Medicaid enrollees, and uninsured people. Hospitals must develop evidence-based plans addressing both health conditions and social determinants (like housing or food insecurity) through innovations like coordinated care teams, electronic health record improvements, and community partnerships. The program requires tracking outcomes such as reduced emergency visits, lower costs, improved health status, and decreased disparities, with a final evaluation report to Congress after 2030.
