Summary
Introduced in House
Kids' Access to Primary Care Act of 2025 This bill modifies payments for Medicaid primary care services. Specifically, the bill applies a Medicare payment rate floor to Medicaid primary care services that are provided after the date of enactment of the bill and extends the payment rate to additional types of practitioners (e.g., obstetricians). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services must conduct a study on the number of children enrolled in Medicaid, the number of providers receiving payment for primary care services, and associated payment rates before and after the bill's implementation.
District impact notes
The Kids' Access to Primary Care Act of 2025 modifies Medicaid payment structures for primary care services, establishing a minimum payment rate based on Medicare rates. • This change could impact local healthcare providers by potentially increasing the number of practitioners willing to accept Medicaid patients. • It may also affect families with children enrolled in Medicaid, as more providers could lead to improved access to primary care services. • A possible concern is how the implementation of the new payment rates will affect the overall budget for Medicaid services and whether it will lead to changes in provider participation.
