What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "COMPLETE Care Act," aims to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide incentives for integrating behavioral health with primary care. It establishes increased Medicare payment amounts for specific services identified by certain HCPCS codes during the years 2027, 2028, and 2029. The legislation also waives budget neutrality requirements for these increased payments during that period. Additionally, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is directed to provide technical assistance to primary care practices adopting behavioral health integration models. The bill includes specific funding for these technical assistance efforts from fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
