S 3298

This bill, the Medicaid Primary Care Improvement Act, aims to allow states to offer primary care services through direct primary care arrangements under Medicaid. It clarifies that states can establish these arrangements, where patients pay a fixed fee for primary care services directly to a provider, without restrictions. The bill also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to provide guidance to states on implementing these arrangements and to report on their use and impact on healthcare quality and costs.
