Bill Summary

To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to allow for medical assistance under Medicaid for inmates during the 30-day period preceding release from a public institution. This bill allows Medicaid payment for medical services furnished to an incarcerated individual during the 30-day period preceding the individual's release.

AI Summary

This bill, the Medicaid Reentry Act, would allow Medicaid to cover medical services provided to incarcerated individuals during the 30-day period preceding their release from a public institution. Under current law, Medicaid is generally prohibited from covering medical services for inmates of public institutions, but this bill would create an exception for the 30-day period before an individual's release. This change aims to help facilitate a smoother transition for incarcerated individuals back into the community and ensure they have access to necessary medical care during that critical period.
