The MPA Insurance Committee engages with insurance entities across the State of Michigan to advocate for psychology and the mental health needs of the public.

Chair:
Robert Fabiano

Committee Members:

How does the purpose of the committee fit with the MPA mission?
We represent the interests of psychologist by:

• Promoting our unique training and skills, including those that serve the goal of improving health outcomes by integrating physical and mental healthcare
• Advocating for reimbursements commensurate with our training and expertise
• Advocating for our full inclusion in insurers’ quality improvement initiatives
• Protecting our profession by advocating for credential and reimbursement policies that reflect providers’ training, scope of practice, and professional judgment in applying CPT codes
• Minimizing the impact of carved-out managed care plans on the practice of psychology.

We represent the mental health needs of the public by:

• Advocating for policies and practices that will increase access and remove barriers to high quality care
• Providing insurers with educational materials about mental health services and integrated care that they can promulgate to the customers and subscribers
• Advocating for legislation that will support optimal mental health/substance use/developmental disorder services, provided by appropriately trained professionals, for all residents of our State.
