S 752

The Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act aims to make it easier for children under 21 to receive care from out-of-state healthcare providers who participate in Medicaid and CHIP. It requires states to create a streamlined enrollment process allowing these providers to treat qualifying children for up to five years without undergoing additional screening requirements beyond basic identification. The bill focuses on ensuring these providers have a demonstrated low risk of fraud and abuse before enrollment, and it updates relevant sections of the Social Security Act to reflect these changes.
