Legislative Update: Contact Your United States Senators Now
Legislation to establish Medicare coverage of state-licensed professional counselors and marriage and family therapists has been introduced in the Senate. The legislations -- S. 604, the "Seniors Mental Health Access Improvement Act of 2011"-- would cover medically necessary outpatient psychotherapy provided by both counselors and marriage and family therapists under the same terms, conditions, and reimbursement rates as currently apply to services provided by clinical social workers.
Over the years, Medicare legislation to establish coverage of state-licensed counselors has been approved twice in both the House and the Senate, but never enacted into law. ACA is working in coalition with several organizations, including the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, the American Mental Health Counselors Association, the National Board for Certified Counselors, and the California Association for Marriage and Family Therapists, to gain enactment of this legislation. Congress is expected to pass broader Medicare legislation later this year, to prevent a 25% cut in Medicare physician payment rates from taking effect.
We are asking each of you to contact Senators Lugar and Coats to express your support for this legislation. Contact information is below:
Senator Dick Lugar:
1180 Market Tower 10 West Market Street Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
306 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510-1401

Tell Your Representative: Protect Mental Health Services
A spending bill for the remainder of the fiscal year released by the House GOP majority would dramatically cut critical services for people with mental health and substance use conditions. The House began debate on this legislation today, Tuesday, February 15th, and will vote on it by the end of this week.
Funding for services, support and research for individuals with mental health or substance use conditions could see as much as a 20 percent cut, or be eliminated altogether. In fact, the funding bill includes a $200 million cut to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, over a $1 billion cut to the National Institutes of Health and similar, significant cuts to juvenile justice and housing programs.
If approved, these proposed cuts will do immediate damage, especially in light of the $2.2 billion reduction in state mental health funding for programs serving our vulnerable population. They will also seriously jeopardize funding for critical mental health services in future years.
