AAMFT, in conjunction with its allies in the Medicare Mental Health Workforce Coalition, will host a virtual action day on April 21 to help prioritize passage of the Mental Health Access Improvement Act (S. 828/ H.R 432). We have the momentum on our side now and it is time to act!

President Biden recently released his budget for Fiscal Year 2023, which includes a recommendation for Congress to add MFTs and MHCs as Medicare-eligible providers. With growing support for the initiative, this could be the year that the Mental Health Access Improvement Act is enacted into law.

Please join us in tweeting, posting on Facebook, emailing, and calling your Members of Congress on April 21 in support of making marriage and family therapists Medicare-eligible providers! You can also take immediate action by emailing Congress to include MFTs as Medicare providers.

Please contact us at FamilyTEAM@aamft.org if you have any questions.
