Mental and Physical Health Care Comorbidities Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 2590, also known as the "Medicare Mental Health Integration Act," aims to improve the treatment of individuals with both mental and physical health conditions under the Medicare program. The bill proposes the establishment of a demonstration program to promote collaborative care for these comorbidities.

The main goal of the bill is to address the often overlooked issue of mental health in individuals with chronic physical conditions. By integrating mental health services into primary care settings, the bill seeks to improve overall health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs for Medicare beneficiaries.

Under the demonstration program, healthcare providers would be incentivized to work together to develop personalized treatment plans that address both the mental and physical health needs of patients. This collaborative approach is intended to ensure that individuals receive comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of their health. Overall, the Medicare Mental Health Integration Act aims to improve the quality of care for individuals with comorbid mental and physical health conditions, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
