Social workers deserve compensation that reflects their education and training, and the critical support they provide. NASW is proud to be the lead supporter of the bicameral, bipartisan Mental Health Access and Provider Support Act, currently before Congress. This bill would increase Medicare reimbursement for clinical social workers from 75% to 85%, helping reduce financial strain, sustain the workforce, and strengthen access to care nationwide.
