Bill Summary
A bill to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to streamline enrollment under the Medicaid program of certain providers across State lines.
AI Summary
This bill aims to simplify the process for out-of-state healthcare providers to enroll in a state's Medicaid program, specifically focusing on providers serving children under 21 years old. Under the proposed legislation, states must create a streamlined enrollment process for "eligible out-of-state providers" who have already been screened for fraud, waste, and abuse either by Medicare or another state's Medicaid program. These providers can enroll in a new state's Medicaid plan with minimal additional screening, essentially using their existing provider credentials. Once enrolled, the provider would remain eligible for five years unless terminated for specific reasons, such as being excluded from federal healthcare programs. To be considered an "eligible out-of-state provider," a healthcare professional must be located in a different state, have a proven low-risk screening history, and not have been previously excluded or terminated from healthcare programs. The bill is designed to make it easier for healthcare providers to serve children across state lines by reducing administrative barriers to Medicaid enrollment, with the amendments set to take effect three years after the bill's enactment.
