AI Summary
This bill, titled the "American Citizenship Healthcare Integrity Act of 2025," amends Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, which governs the Medicare program, to require hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rural emergency hospitals to ask patients about their citizenship status on intake forms as a condition of participating in Medicare. Furthermore, these healthcare facilities must report annually to the Secretary of Health and Human Services the number of non-U.S. citizens who received services and the cost of any uncompensated care provided to them. The Secretary will then compile and publicly release a report detailing the total uncompensated care costs for non-citizens across these facilities and estimate the amount of federal Medicare (Title XVIII) and Medicaid (Title XIX) spending that would have been avoided without this uncompensated care.
