Urge your Members of Congress to Improve Access to Telemental Health Services

The Telemental Health Care Access Act (S. 3651/H.R. 3432)

The Telemental Health Care Access Act is much-needed bipartisan, bicameral legislation that will permanently remove a problematic requirement that Medicare beneficiaries be seen in person as a prerequisite to receiving telemental health services.

Mental health conditions remain the top telehealth diagnosis since the onset of the pandemic, rising from 34% to 67% of diagnoses. Starting in 2025, Medicare will require that beneficiaries have an in-person visit within the last 6 months to access telemental health care. This requirement only applies to telemental health care, thereby perpetuating inequities in accessing these desperately needed services. Fortunately, NASW has successfully advocated that Congress delay the effective date of this requirement; however, we need your help in ensuring Congress permanently removes it such that it never takes effect.

S. 3651/H.R. 3432 will increase access to telemental health care services for Medicare beneficiaries by removing the 6-month in-person requirement.

Contact your Senators and Representative TODAY and urge them to co-sponsor the Telemental Health Care Access Act. Help them understand the mental health needs of Medicare beneficiaries in your community and why this requirement creates unnecessary burdens and barriers to care. Personalized communication goes a long way with a member of Congress.
