Expand insurance coverage for behavioral health crisis response services, including 988 Lifeline calls, mobile crisis response teams, and crisis receiving and stabilization services.

“988 has given Americans a simple number to call when they need help, but answering the phone is only the first step,” said Congressman Moulton . “We also need to ensure people have somewhere to turn for care in their communities. This legislation will help build out the behavioral health crisis services that connect people in need with treatment and support, when and where they need it. No one experiencing a mental health crisis should be left without help simply because the resources aren’t there.”

Moulton said the bill would build out behavioral health crisis services so people in mental health crisis can access treatment and support in their communities.
