S 2847 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Occupational Therapy Mental Health Parity Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide education and outreach about existing Medicare coverage for occupational therapy services. Specifically, it mandates that within one year of enactment, the Secretary must clarify how Medicare covers occupational therapy for mental health and substance use disorder treatment using specific HCPCS codes. The bill directly affects Medicare beneficiaries seeking these services and healthcare providers billing under those codes. It does not change coverage rules but ensures stakeholders understand current policy.
