Bill overview
The Addiction Treatment Access Act amends the Medicare program to ensure that addiction counselor services are covered under Part B, similar to how physician services are. This means individuals receiving treatment for substance abuse and addiction can access these services through Medicare, as long as no other provider is paid for the same services. The bill also defines what constitutes an ‘addiction counselor’ and establishes payment rates for these services, aiming to improve access to addiction treatment for Medicare beneficiaries.
