CMS Updates Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) Medicare.gov Content

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is excited to share that it has updated its Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) content on www.medicare.gov [ http://www.medicare.gov ]. The content updates are part of the CMS broader Behavior Health Strategy and will make it easier for users to access mental health and substance use disorder information.  Visit https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/mental-health-substance-use-disorder to see the new updates.

The CMS Behavioral Health Strategy translates our goals into a framework focused on outcomes and focuses on three key areas:


* Substance Use Disorders Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services,
* Ensuring Effective Pain Treatment and Management, and
* Improving Mental Health Care and Services.
