Mission: 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.
