Webinar replay: new tools for Medicare policy changes impacting behavioral health services
This webinar was held on July 26, 2023.
In light of the recent Medicare regulatory and statutory expansion of behavioral health services and providers, this webinar focused on how those changes will impact the demand, delivery, and availability of behavioral health services. Experts covered how changes in Medicare coverage will affect different behavioral health provider types, improve access to opioid/SUD treatment, and improve flexibility with telehealth/digital service delivery. At a time when behavioral health access is strained, and workforce shortages are reported nation-wide, this new Medicare coverage (expected rules to be announced soon) presents both a significant opportunity as well as a challenge to the delivery system.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the recent Medicare regulatory and statutory changes impacting behavioral health providers, services, and reimbursement.
- Anticipate changes in demand for behavioral health services and the impact on your local market.
- Plan for the impact of regulation changes on demand for opioid/SUD treatment and telehealth/digital service delivery.
