Bill overview
This bill, the Insular Area Medicaid Coronavirus Recovery Act, adjusts the federal Medicaid funding provided to U.S. territories during the COVID-19 pandemic. It increases the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) for territories – including American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands – to 100% until the end of the public health emergency or September 30, 2021. This change retroactively applies to existing Medicaid programs in these areas, providing a significant boost to their healthcare resources.
