<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">On March 9, President Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/legislation/2024/03/09/press-release-bill-signed-h-r-4366/" target="_blank">signed</a> into law the <a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20240304/HMS31169.PDF" target="_blank">Consolidated Appropriations Act</a>, 2024 (HR 4366) to avert a partial government shutdown. The $460 billion spending package includes a 1.68% reduction to the 3.4% cut to the <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/calendar-year-cy-2024-medicare-physician-fee-schedule-final-rule" target="_blank">Medicare Physician Fee Schedule</a> conversion factor that took effect on January 1. (The conversion factor is an element in the equation that determines physician reimbursement for every payment code.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The new payment rate went into effect on March 9; it is not retroactive to January 1. APA continues to work for full repeal of the physician pay cut, which was automatically enacted to offset overall increases in Medicare payment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The impact of the remaining overall payment reduction on individual psychiatrists depends on what kinds of services they provide. The fee schedule, released last November, did include some <a href="https://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.pn.2023.12.12.43" target="_blank">good news</a> for psychiatrists; positive provisions included an increase in reimbursement for providing psychotherapy as an add-on to evaluation and management (E/M) services and the extension of some telepsychiatry provisions into 2024.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The appropriations act also reauthorizes some substance use disorder treatment programs that were created under the Substance Use Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Other provisions in the appropriations act include the following:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A requirement that the Department of Health and Human Services provide guidance to states on how they can improve behavioral and primary care integration, including via the <a href="https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/diversity/mental-health-equity-fireside-chat/looking-beyond-unplugged/the-collaborative-care-model-to-optimize-patient-o" target="_blank">Collaborative Care Model</a>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Indefinite extension of the requirement that state Medicaid plans cover the costs of medication assisted treatment for substance use disorders.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A provision that prohibits termination of Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) coverage because of incarceration.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A provision making permanent the state Medicaid option to cover treatment at a residential or inpatient substance use disorder program with over 16 beds.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">An extension of the Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) floor related to physician work through December 31. The GPCI accounts for differences in practice expenses among different regions of the country.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">An extension of <a href="https://qpp.cms.gov/apms/advanced-apms" target="_blank">Alternative Payment Model</a> bonus payments at 1.88% for performance year 2024.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">An extension of funding for the <a href="https://www.hrsa.gov/grants/find-funding/HRSA-24-051" target="_blank">Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Program</a> through December 31.</span></li>
</ul>

Despite increasing interest in the clinical application of psychedelic compounds for psychiatric disorders, there is no consensus on how to best integrate the psychedelic experience with evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatment. This systematic review provides a timely appraisal of existing approaches to combining psychotherapy with psychedelics and provides clear recommendations to best develop, optimize, and integrate evidence-based psychotherapy with psychedelic administration for straightforward scientific inference and maximal therapeutic benefit.2024-03-18T00:00:00Zurn:uuid:0dacbfbf-a6f5-963a-4db4-692b9c085e7fLewis Leone, Bryan McSpadden, Annamarie DeMarco, Lauren Enten, Rachel Kline, Gregory A.

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>Although high rates of bereavement are evident in war-affected populations, no study has investigated the prevalence and correlates of probable ICD-11 prolonged grief disorder (PGD) under these circumstances.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>Participants were 2050 adults who participated in a nationwide survey exploring the effects of the Ukraine-Russia war on the daily lives and mental health of Ukrainian people.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Of the total sample, 87.7% (<i>n</i> = 1797) of people indicated a lifetime bereavement. In the full sample, 11.4% met the diagnostic requirements for probable ICD-11 PGD, and amongst those with a lifetime bereavement, the conditional rate of probable ICD-11 PGD was 13.0%. Significant risk factors of ICD-11 PGD included the recent loss of a loved one (6 months to a year ago), being most affected by a partner or spouse's death, loved one dying in the war, no recent contact with the deceased prior to their death, and meeting depression and anxiety diagnostic requirements.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The study reveals that a significant percentage of Ukrainian bereaved individuals have probable ICD-11 PGD, and identifying risk factors, particularly war-related losses, will aid in the development of intervention and prevention programs for bereaved adults.</p>2024-03-16T10:02:50Zurn:uuid:253793c5-b887-fcc1-4f88-7f6b505ba750

<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">People with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who begin taking medications for the condition within three months of their diagnosis may have a lower risk of dying within two years compared with their peers who do not take ADHD medications, a <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2816084" target="_blank">study</a> in <i>JAMA</i> has found.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Zheng Chang, Ph.D., of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm and colleagues examined data from 148,578 Swedish individuals aged 6 to 64 years who had an incident diagnosis of ADHD from 2007 through 2018 and no ADHD medication dispensation for at least 18 months prior to their diagnosis. They followed the patients from ADHD diagnosis for two years or until death, emigration, or December 31, 2020, whichever came first. The researchers categorized mortality into natural causes (that is, physical conditions) and unnatural causes (that is, suicide, accidental injuries, accidental poisoning, and other external injuries).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Overall, 56.7% of the patients initiated ADHD medication. This was defined as receiving any of the six licensed ADHD medications (methylphenidate, amphetamine, dexamphetamine, lisdexamfetamine, atomoxetine, and guanfacine) within three months of diagnosis.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The researchers found that patients who initiated ADHD medication had a 21% lower risk of dying of any cause and a 25% lower risk of dying from unnatural causes compared with patients who did not initiate ADHD medication.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“ADHD medication may reduce the risk of unnatural-cause mortality by alleviating the core symptoms of ADHD and its psychiatric comorbidities, leading to improved impulse control and decision-making, ultimately reducing the occurrence of fatal events,” Chang and colleagues wrote. “There is also evidence showing that ADHD medications were associated with lower risk of accidents, substance use, and criminality, which in turn could lead to lower rates of unnatural deaths.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">There was no statistically significant difference in death by natural causes between the two groups. The researchers said that this was reassuring given concerns about the cardiovascular safety of stimulants.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The researchers added that their results cannot conclusively establish a cause-and-effect relationship between initiating ADHD medications and lower risk of dying because they did not measure certain confounders, such as lifestyle factors, that could affect risk.</span></p>
