Bill > S1165

This bill, the Reentry Act of 2023, aims to amend the Social Security Act to allow states to provide Medicaid coverage to inmates during the 30-day period preceding their release. The bill requires the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission to submit a report to Congress on the Medicaid inmate exclusion, including an analysis of the standards for health and safety in correctional facilities, the impact of the bill on health care coverage and transition back into the community for newly released individuals, and potential recommendations for further legislative or administrative actions to ensure access to comprehensive health coverage and addiction treatment for incarcerated and newly released individuals.
