He served as Legislative and Regulatory Counsel since 1995 and has represented psychologists before Congress and regulatory agencies since 1991. Walter participated in development of President Clinton’s Health Security Act in 1993. He helped draft the Bipartisan Consensus Managed Care Improvement Act, sponsored by Congressmen John D. Dingell and Charlie Norwood, which passed the House of Representatives in 1999. Mr. Walter was a principle negotiator in discussions between mental health and insurance advocates that led to passage of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Treatment Act of 2008. He helped formulate the privacy protections in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule and in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and he is a leading health privacy advocate in Washington, D.C. In 2008, Walter was chosen by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to represent the mental health and substance use communities in public “stakeholders” meetings to develop, and he drafted portions of the legislation that was enacted into law as the Affordable Care Act of 2010.
