(Washington, DC) - U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) is applauding the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule, which would establish Medicare coverage for digital mental health treatment (DMHT) devices and was modeled after the Senator's bipartisan Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act of 2023. The new CMS proposed rule expands Medicare beneficiaries' previously limited access to DMHT devices, making it easier for clinicians to help combat the ongoing mental health and substance use crises. The rule incorporates key provisions from Shaheen and U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito's (R-WV) Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act of 2023, which expands Medicare coverage to include software-based disease treatments designed to directly treat disease.
