Bill overview
The Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act aims to improve access to Medicaid for children by streamlining the enrollment process for out-of-state healthcare providers. It allows states to enroll eligible providers for up to five years without additional screening, unless a specific agreement exists with other states regarding coverage for medically complex children. The bill establishes clear criteria for eligible providers, including those already screened for Medicare participation and those deemed to have a limited risk of fraud. It also makes changes to existing Medicaid regulations to reflect this new enrollment process.
