LCAT Advocacy Coalition
@LCATadvocacy
There are 2,000+ Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCATs) providing psychotherapy across NY - improve access now via signing A3319/S1001 into law!
In December @GovKathyHochul said adding LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List should happen via the budget — so now’s the time! @HarryBBronson @SenatorBrouk @1199SEIU @DC37nyc @_northernrivers timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

Thank you for covering this important bill @GeringerSameth 👏🏼👏🏼 Signing S1001/A3319 into law will help improve mental health access by mandating insurance coverage for psychotherapy provided by LCATs - an easy win for NYers!

I am proud to announce the passage of S1001 in the Senate, which requires insurance coverage for LCAT services. By connecting New Yorkers w/ licensed creative arts therapy, we are ensuring that individuals have access to diverse treatments for healing and transformation.

Pass S1001 on the Senate floor today & give NYers the affordable mental healthcare options they desperately need! @SenatorBrouk @HarryBBronson @1199SEIU @DC37nyc @_northernrivers

S1001/A3319 is a simple way to guarantee that New Yorkers can use their commercial health insurance plans to work with ANY licensed mental health provider in the state - this will help reduce waitlists and improve access to care. TY to @SenatorBrouk @HarryBBronson 👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you to @SenatorSerrano — the newest co-sponsor for S1001! And thank you to our other co-sponsors: @MichelleHinchey @kevinparkernyc @NYSenatorRivera @JamesSkoufis @leawebbforny & Senator Fernandez And of course a huge thank you to @SenatorBrouk our tireless bill sponsor!

Next stop is the Senate floor! Thank you to @SenatorBrouk & @HarryBBronson for your tireless efforts to improve mental healthcare access for NYers!

Pass S1001 today & let NYers — not their insurance company— choose the type of psychotherapy that works for them!

Grateful for @SenatorBrouk’s leadership - S1001 has passed the Senate Finance Committee, now it’s onto the Senate floor!
Thank you @LCATadvocacy for continuing to advocate for S1001. We are overdue for access to this transformative mental health care. Let's get this bill passed so that more people can receive creative arts therapy and thrive.

Pass S1001 through the Senate Finance Committee and bring it to the Senate floor for a vote! A3319 passed the Assembly — almost unanimously— back in March. NYers need equal access to ALL psychotherapy providers licensed by NY, including LCATs. @HarryBBronson @SenatorBrouk

S1001 is on Finance Committee agenda for Wed 5/28 — we need it to move swiftly through & onto the Senate floor for a vote! This bill will add more psychotherapy providers & improve access - a win win! @1199seiu @dc37nyc @_northernrivers @HarryBBronson @SenatorBrouk

.@GovKathyHochul — Adding LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List via the budget is NOT adding a new service, simply improving access to psychotherapy, an already covered service. @HarryBBronson @SenatorBrouk @1199SEIU @DC37nyc @_northernrivers

.@GovKathyHochul - NYers are counting on you to improve mental healthcare access! Pls make sure the @SenatorBrouk & @HarryBBronson proposal to add LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List is part of the final budget! TY @1199SEIU @DC37nyc @_northernrivers for the steadfast support!

Improving access to LCATs — one of NY’s licensed mental health practitioners— starts with adding LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List via the final budget. @HarryBBronson @SenatorBrouk @GovKathyHochul @1199SEIU @DC37nyc @_northernrivers @wgettman
