Increased Support for Mental Health Care in Primary Medical Care.

This act aims to improve access to mental health care by incentivizing primary care doctors to integrate it into their services. This means citizens can more easily get mental health help directly from their family doctor, facilitating comprehensive care. The act also provides support for medical facilities in implementing these changes.
Key points
Primary care providers will receive increased payments for behavioral health services from 2027-2029, encouraging integration.
Medical practices will get technical assistance to adopt behavioral health integration models, like the Collaborative Care Model.
The goal is to make it easier for citizens to access comprehensive healthcare, covering both physical and mental health, in one place.
