Medicare Reimbursement & Access

APA and APAPO represent the interests of psychology through ongoing advocacy with Congress and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on issues such as coverage, reimbursement, eligibility and professional status. We work to resolve difficulties encountered by members in providing services to Medicare beneficiaries and obtaining reimbursement through the federal Medicare program. We utilize a multi-faceted approach including direct communication with federal policy makers, issuing written comments, attending public forums, and conducting outreach to insurance carriers.
