Integrating Social Workers Across Health Care Settings Act
This bill amends the Social Security Act to expand Medicare coverage for clinical social worker services. It removes the current restriction limiting these services to "the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses," allowing Medicare to cover a broader range of social worker services in healthcare settings. The change applies to services provided on or after December 1, 2025, directly affecting Medicare beneficiaries who receive social work services for non-mental health conditions. This policy adjustment aims to integrate social workers more fully into general healthcare coverage under Medicare.
