Bill overview
The John Lewis Equality in Medicare and Medicaid Treatment Act of 2023 aims to improve healthcare access for 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. Specifically, the bill requires the Center to consult with relevant agencies and incorporate considerations of health equity and disparities into the selection, implementation, and evaluation of payment models. It also mandates the testing of a new social determinants of health payment model, beginning in 2024, and requires reports to include data on the impact of these models on reducing disparities and improving health equity.
