Please join the Society for Social Work Leadership in Healthcare-IL Chapter CEU event on Medicare Policy Changes on Tuesday June 11th from 5:30-7pm (presentation from 6-7pm). It will be a hybrid event both online and in-person at Belmont Village in Lincoln Park.  Presentation Description:Starting January 1, Medicare Part B is beginning to cover select social care and navigation services that will make a significant difference in the ability of clinic-based teams to attend to what matters most for their patients. At the same time, Medicare is expanding access to mental health services by recognizing additional providers – including marriage and family therapists, and licensed counselors – and increasing the valuation of mental health care. And significantly, for the first time, clinical social workers are now recognized by Medicare as eligible providers of health behavior assessment and intervention (HBAI) services, which address psychosocial factors that complicate medical treatment. Collectively, these changes are expected to advance health equity efforts for Medicare beneficiaries and advance momentum to make access to quality social care a reality for all.   This presentation will summarize these developments with an emphasis on supporting work carried out by social workers, both as independent clinical providers as well as members of clinical care teams or partner organizations. We will share real-world examples and considerations for implementing these opportunities, and share additional resources on where to learn more.    Learning Objectives  1.     Describe developments in Medicare payment policy that influence access to social care and mental health care  2.     Define new service reimbursement definitions for community health integration and principal illness navigation services as part of Medicare’s strategy to improve health and health equity 3. Identify opportunities for outpatient social work services to be supported by Medicare financing as part of clinical teams and as independent clinical providers
