Medicaid: Easier Access to Same-Day Mental Health and Primary Care.

This act aims to simplify access to medical services for citizens using the Medicaid program. It ensures that same-day visits to a primary care physician and a mental health specialist at the same facility will be fully covered. This means citizens won't have to worry about additional costs or one service not being paid for, improving care coordination.
Key points
Ensures coverage for primary care and mental health services provided on the same day.
Increases access and coordination of healthcare by removing financial barriers for simultaneous appointments.
Applies to services furnished at the same facility, facilitating comprehensive patient care.
