According to the article, the bill applies to all federally qualified health centers.
Dean Germano, CEO of Shasta Community Health Center in Redding, Calif., said the bill will have a huge impact on community health centers looking to hire therapists, especially those that could not previously afford to hire them.
“We haven’t had [licensed marriage and family therapists] in organizations because we couldn’t afford them, and we couldn’t be reimbursed,” said Mr. Germano. “We [now] have the ability to do that.”
