This bill expands what clinical social workers can do for people on Medicare. Right now, Medicare mainly pays them for mental health care. Under this change, Medicare would cover any service that a clinical social worker is allowed to provide under their state’s rules, not just services for diagnosing or treating mental illnesses.

If it becomes law, the change would start for services provided on or after December 1, 2025.

Key points:

Who is affected: Medicare patients and clinical social workers.
What changes: Medicare coverage would include any service a clinical social worker can legally provide in their state, not only mental health diagnosis or treatment.
When: Starting December 1, 2025.
