Mental and Physical Health Care Comorbidities Act of 2025

What this bill does

This bill creates a test program for hospitals to develop new ways of treating patients with both serious mental and physical health conditions.
Low-income and uninsured people with serious mental illness and chronic physical conditions are the focus.
Participating hospitals must serve many Medicare or Medicaid patients and measure outcomes; findings will inform future payment changes.
