The ADAPT Act would allow "advanced psychology trainees"—doctoral interns or post-degree trainees not yet licensed—to provide mental health services that Medicare reimburses, as long as a licensed psychologist supervises their training generally. The supervising psychologist would bill using a new "GC modifier" code. HHS would also help states develop similar coverage options under Medicaid and CHIP.
Affects Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP beneficiaries seeking mental health care, plus psychology graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, and their supervising psychologists.
The change could expand billing and service opportunities for trainees and supervisors while altering how Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP track and pay for trainee-provided psychological care.
