Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the screening process for healthcare providers enrolled in Medicaid. It requires states to check databases, specifically those maintained under the Affordable Care Act, to see if a provider has been previously terminated from Medicare or other Medicaid or CHIP programs. This ongoing quarterly screening is intended to help identify potentially unsuitable providers and protect Medicaid recipients. The goal is to enhance patient safety and program integrity.
