Bill overview
This bill aims to increase access to mental healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by eliminating a longstanding limit on the number of inpatient days covered for psychiatric hospital stays. Currently, Medicare patients are restricted to a maximum of 190 days of inpatient mental health treatment within their lifetime. This legislation would remove this restriction, allowing individuals to receive longer-term inpatient care when needed. The bill seeks to improve mental health outcomes for seniors enrolled in Medicare.
