Connections Health Solutions Applauds Bipartisan Legislation To Expand Behavioral Health Crisis Services For Medicare Beneficiaries

PHOENIX, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Connections Health Solutions, the leading innovator in immediate-access emergency behavioral health care, commends Congressmen Tony Cárdenas (CA-29), David Schweikert (AZ-1) and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) for introducing the ''Crisis Care Access and Response Expansion for Behavioral Health Act of 2024'' or the ''CARE for Behavioral Health Act of 2024.'' The bipartisan legislation will establish a Medicare demonstration program for crisis stabilization services. This landmark proposal is a significant step towards enhancing the 988 Crisis Lifeline's commitment to ensuring individuals in crisis have "A Safe Place for Help" by enabling Medicare reimbursement for essential services provided by crisis receiving and stabilization facilities and behavioral health urgent care centers. It addresses a critical gap in community-based behavioral health care.Over 225 million Americans lack Medicare and private insurance coverage for patient-centered, community-based crisis care. This new legislation aims to close this funding gap, explore value-based arrangements, and expand access to high quality crisis care services, marking a significant advancement in addressing the nation's growing behavioral health needs. Medicare currently provides limited coverage for community-based crisis stabilization services, with the costs of these life-saving facilities often absorbed by fractured state and local funds
