FROM OUR FIELD
Did you know 160 million Americans live in areas without enough mental
health providers? Although Federal law and the U.S. Department of Labor
advocate parity across all types of healthcare, the mental health
industry contends insurance companies don't offer the same access to
quality care. The White House recently pledged to "ensure mental
health benefits on private insurance plans more closely mirror physical
health benefits." President Biden described the action as "a real
step forward to help millions of people get the mental health care they
need and that insurance should be providing."
According to the medical journalPsychiatric Services
, our nation needs upwards of over
31,000 more psychiatrists to navigate the mental health and addiction
crisis. How can we attract newcomers when reimbursement rates are much
lower in behavioral health than in primary medical care? That's why
about 50% of therapists bypass insurance and bill patients directly.
There's also a cap on federally funded mental health residency
positions which limits the pool of up-and-coming talent eager to undergo
supervision, get licensed, and get to work. Chief policy leader ofthe
Kennedy Forum , David Lloyd, admits,
"Without a doubt, we need more mental health and substance use
providers. No one disputes that. But the payment system is a major cause
of that shortage."
On a brighter note, experts see a slight uptick in mental health
professionals entering the field starting in 2025 thanks to steady
growth in population and more young professionals open to exploring a
career in clinical healthcare. President Biden's administration has
been driven to get mental health care on more equal footing with ideas
like expanding the number of residency slots, working with insurance
companies to implement programs that expand networks and increase
access, and granting more coverage under Medicare to professionals such
as peer support specialists, marriage and family therapists, and mental
health and substance abuse counselors.
The gap between therapist and patient is concerning, but it's
comforting to know mental health well-being is under close surveillance
and top of mind.
