Summary of Bill HR 2309

Bill 119 HR 2309, also known as the "Medicaid Provider Screening Enhancement Act," aims to make changes to the Medicaid program under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The main goal of this bill is to enhance the screening process for providers who participate in the Medicaid program.

Currently, Medicaid providers undergo a screening process to ensure they meet certain qualifications and standards before they can participate in the program. However, this bill seeks to strengthen this screening process by requiring additional screening measures for certain providers.

Specifically, the bill mandates that providers who have a history of fraudulent or abusive behavior, or who have been excluded from participating in other federal health programs, undergo more rigorous screening. This includes conducting background checks, verifying credentials, and reviewing past performance. By implementing these additional screening measures, the bill aims to protect the integrity of the Medicaid program and ensure that only qualified and trustworthy providers are able to participate. This will help prevent fraud, waste, and abuse within the program, ultimately saving taxpayer dollars and improving the quality of care for Medicaid beneficiaries. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2309 seeks to strengthen the provider screening process under the Medicaid program to ensure that only reputable and qualified providers are able to participate, ultimately benefiting both the program and its beneficiaries.
