Maryland Legislative Information
Alice Neily Mutch is a mental health professional who has practiced for twenty-three years in the mental health system, in venues ranging from community mental health centers to university settings, local, state and federal hospitals and federal Medicare and Medicaid systems. She spearheaded the legislation which guarantees the right of clinical social workers to be reimbursed for services; she also directed the lobbying effort resulting in Maryland's mental health parity law, which became a model for other states. Over the years, she has formed relationships with a wide network of health care interests in Annapolis. Her firm now specializes in state level health care reform and she has been instrumental in getting visibility for social workers in this area of health care.
Ms. Mutch was twice named one of Maryland's 100 Top Women by the Daily Record for commitment to community service, mentoring, and professional achievement. Her website provides a single point of internet entry for social work legislative access needs.
