This week in Congress:
While Congress is on recess until Labor Day, please do the following!
AMHCA asks its LMHCs to email or call their U.S. Representatives asking that they cosponsor, H.R. 3839, a bill that, if passed and enacted, would allow all LMHCs to practice independently under TRICARE. Please refer to the left side of the screen for a template letter.
AMHCA realizes the Senate bill language is not ideal and will work to get it tweaked once it advances to conference with the House bill. In the meantime, AMHCA asks members to enlist their legislators as cosponsors of the Senate bill, S. 3371. This best be done by writing or calling your U.S. Senator and asking that he/she support S. 3371 as a cosponsor.
AMHCA asks in particular, that constituents of Iowa, Utah, Maine, Arizona, Kentucky, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, Wyoming, and Texas schedule a district meeting with their U.S. Senators during the congressional recess (up until Labor Day) to ask for their support of S. 671, Medicare eligibility of LMHCs. We need cosponsors and a bill to which to attach S. 671!
