Bill overview
The Helping Adults Protect Immunity Act (HAPI Act) aims to improve access to recommended adult vaccines for people enrolled in Medicaid. It requires state Medicaid programs to cover these vaccines without requiring patients to pay any costs, such as copays or deductibles. The bill modifies existing Medicaid regulations to explicitly include adult vaccines and ensures that the federal government provides additional financial support to states for these covered services. This legislation seeks to increase vaccination rates among adults with Medicaid coverage.
