The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has published an FAQ for marriage and family therapists and mental health counselors on how to enroll in Medicare to provide services under the physician fee schedule. These providers must enroll in Medicare to submit claims and get paid for covered items or services. Their effective enrollment date will not be earlier than January 1. As finalized in the CY2024 Physician Fee Schedule, these providers can now act as part of the hospice interdisciplinary team, but are not required to be part of the interdisciplinary team.
