Please prompt Gov Hochul to SIGN THE MEDICAID BILL allowing New York State Licensed Art Therapists to serve Medicaid clients.

There are over 2,000 Licensed Creative Arts Therapists in New York State

The Governor still has not committed to signing, despite constant pressure from unions, agencies, World Health Organization & others. Our lobbyist is working every angle & contact she has, but time is running out!! (Governor will sign or veto by Dec 24th)

If you have not taken action yet, NOW IS THE TIME.

Each email & call makes a difference.

Getting this bill signed into law will create more jobs & lay the foundation for commercial health insurance coverage for LCATs & LCATs working in public schools.

CALL:

Step 1 - call 518-474-8390 (office hrs are 9am-5pm)

Step 2 - when you reach a person, say this:

Hello, my name is ____ and I am a: (choose 1-2) Licensed Creative Arts Therapist / licensed professional (MD, LCSW, NP, etc) / 1199 member (or other union) / concerned constituent, calling from __(city/county)__. I am calling to ask Governor Hochul to improve access to much-needed behavioral health care in NY by signing A9018 into law. Thank you.”

Subject line: Please sign A9018 into law!

Dear Governor Hochul,

I am writing to urge you to sign into law A.9018 (Bronson) which adds licensed creative arts therapists to the state’s Medicaid Provider List to provide psychotherapy.

As you know, this bill DOES NOT add additional services to Medicaid or additional costs. It simply improves access to mental health care for our state’s most vulnerable population - especially our children - to help address New York’s mental health crisis.

This bill will allow more New Yorkers to access crucial mental healthcare services and I urge you to sign it into law today.

Thank you for your consideration.
