What’s in it
This bill provides reimbursement parity for certain health professionals. The bill provides that under both the Medicaid program and private insurance, the reimbursement rate paid for services provided by provisionally licensed psychologists and marital and family therapists, master social workers, and mental health counselors holding provisional or temporary licenses, who provide services under the supervision of a supervisor, is 100 percent of the reimbursement rate paid for the same services if provided by the respective supervisor.
