AI Summary

This bill, the Medicaid Health HOME Act or the Medicaid Health Homes for Opioid-Use-Disorder Medicaid Enrollees Encouraged Act, extends the enhanced federal matching rate (known as the FMAP) for expenditures related to substance use disorder (SUD) health home services under Medicaid. Specifically, it allows states with a SUD-focused Medicaid health home program to receive the enhanced FMAP for up to 10 fiscal quarters, rather than just the initial 8 quarters. The bill also requires states with such a program to report on the quality, access, and expenditures for SUD-eligible individuals receiving these health home services, and directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish best practices for designing and implementing SUD-focused Medicaid health home programs.
