Bill overview
This bill makes COVID-19 testing and related visits fully covered by Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) without requiring patients to pay any cost-sharing. It expands coverage to include specific in vitro diagnostic products used for testing and ensures that uninsured individuals who qualify solely due to the pandemic are also covered. The bill also modifies existing provisions to accommodate these changes and clarifies how states can provide assistance to uninsured individuals during the public health emergency.
