Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to allow States to make medical assistance available to inmates during the 30-day period preceding their release.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Reentry Act of 2025, aims to modify the Medicaid program to allow states to provide medical assistance to inmates during the 30-day period before their release from correctional facilities. Specifically, the bill amends the Social Security Act to remove the current restriction that prevents Medicaid coverage for individuals who are incarcerated. Additionally, the bill requires the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 18 months of the Act's enactment. This report must analyze various aspects of healthcare in correctional settings, including access to medical and behavioral health services, potential application of healthcare facility standards, and an assessment of the number of incarcerated individuals who could be eligible for Medicaid. The report should also examine the initial impact of the law on healthcare coverage for individuals transitioning out of correctional facilities and may include recommendations for further legislative or administrative actions to improve healthcare access and support for incarcerated and recently released individuals, with a particular focus on facilitating effective community reintegration and addiction treatment.
