Bill overview
The Equality in Medicare and Medicaid Treatment Act of 2020 aims to improve healthcare access for all Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries by directing the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to prioritize models that address social determinants of health and health disparities, particularly for minority and underserved populations. The bill specifically requires the consideration of these factors in model selection, implementation, and evaluation, and introduces a new ‘social determinants of health’ payment model to be tested by December 2021. It also mandates reporting on disparities and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing them.
