Bill overview
The Patient Navigation Assistance Act requires state Medicaid programs to cover patient navigator services. These services help individuals navigating the healthcare system, particularly those seeking prevention and treatment for chronic diseases like cancer. The bill defines key terms related to patient navigators and their services, and it establishes a process for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to consult with an advisory committee to ensure adequate training and qualifications for these navigators. It also modifies Medicaid funding calculations to account for these new covered services.
