Bill 119 s 752, also known as the "Streamlining Medicaid Provider Enrollment Act," aims to make it easier for certain healthcare providers to enroll in the Medicaid program across state lines. The bill proposes amendments to title XIX of the Social Security Act in order to streamline the enrollment process for these providers.
The main goal of the bill is to reduce administrative burdens and barriers that currently exist for healthcare providers seeking to participate in the Medicaid program in multiple states. By simplifying the enrollment process, the bill aims to increase access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries and improve overall healthcare outcomes.
Specifically, the bill would establish a process for providers to enroll in Medicaid in multiple states through a single, centralized application. This would eliminate the need for providers to navigate different enrollment requirements and processes in each state where they wish to practice.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions to ensure that providers meet all necessary qualifications and standards for participation in the Medicaid program, regardless of the state in which they are seeking enrollment. This is intended to maintain the integrity of the program and protect the interests of Medicaid beneficiaries.
Overall, Bill 119 s 752 seeks to promote efficiency, reduce administrative burdens, and improve access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries by streamlining the enrollment process for certain healthcare providers across state lines.
