Bill information
Summary
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for coverage of peer support services under the Medicare program.
Plain-language summary
The PEERS Act of 2023 would change Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors and some disabled people, to cover peer support services. Peer support services involve people with lived experience of mental health or substance use conditions helping others in similar situations. These services would be a new covered benefit under Medicare starting if the bill passes. The bill is currently introduced in Congress, meaning it has been formally submitted but not yet assigned to a for review.
