Bill overview
This bill, the District of Columbia Medicaid Fairness Act, aims to increase the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for the District of Columbia’s Medicaid program. Currently, the District’s FMAP is lower than that of other states, leading to a disproportionate burden on the District’s healthcare system. The bill proposes a phased increase in the FMAP, starting at 70% and gradually decreasing to 55% over the next four years, with a temporary increase to 65% in 2027. This change would provide the District with more federal funding to support its Medicaid program.
