The "Integrating Social Workers Across Health Care Settings Act" proposes significant changes to the definition of clinical social worker services under Medicare , as outlined in the Social Security Act. This legislation aims to broaden the scope of services that can be provided and reimbursed by clinical social workers. Specifically, the bill amends Section 1861(hh)(2) of the Social Security Act by including "services and supplies furnished as an incident to such services" within the definition. Furthermore, it removes the restrictive phrase "for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses," thereby allowing clinical social workers to offer a wider range of services beyond mental health care. These changes are slated to take effect for services furnished on or after December 1, 2025, potentially enhancing access to social work interventions in various healthcare settings.
